Detailed Description

The DOMCharacterData interface extends DOMNode with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM.

For clarity this set is defined here rather than on each object that uses these attributes and methods. No DOM objects correspond directly to DOMCharacterData, though DOMText and others do inherit the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start from 0.

As explained in the DOM spec, text strings in the DOM are represented in UTF-16, i.e. as a sequence of 16-bit units. In the following, the term 16-bit units is used whenever necessary to indicate that indexing on DOMCharacterData is done in 16-bit units.

Member Function Documentation

virtual const XMLCh* xercesc::DOMCharacterData::getData

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the character data of the node that implements this interface.

The DOM implementation may not put arbitrary limits on the amount of data that may be stored in a DOMCharacterData node. However, implementation limits may mean that the entirety of a node's data may not fit into a single XMLCh* String. In such cases, the user may call substringData to retrieve the data in appropriately sized pieces.

Exceptions:

DOMException

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual XMLSize_t xercesc::DOMCharacterData::getLength

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns the number of characters that are available through data and the substringData method below.

This may have the value zero, i.e., CharacterData nodes may be empty.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual const XMLCh* xercesc::DOMCharacterData::substringData	(	XMLSize_t	offset,
		XMLSize_t	count
	)			const [pure virtual]

Extracts a range of data from the node.

Parameters:

	offset	Start offset of substring to extract.
	count	The number of characters to extract.

Returns:

The specified substring. If the sum of offset and count exceeds the length, then all characters to the end of the data are returned.

Exceptions:

DOMException

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data, or if the specified count is negative.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::appendData

(

const XMLCh *

arg

)

[pure virtual]

Append the string to the end of the character data of the node.

Upon success, data provides access to the concatenation of data and the XMLCh* String specified.

Parameters:

arg

The XMLCh* String to append.

Exceptions:

DOMException

NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::insertData	(	XMLSize_t	offset,
		const XMLCh *	arg
	)			[pure virtual]

Insert a string at the specified character offset.

Parameters:

	offset	The character offset at which to insert.
	arg	The XMLCh* String to insert.

Exceptions:

DOMException

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::deleteData	(	XMLSize_t	offset,
		XMLSize_t	count
	)			[pure virtual]

Remove a range of characters from the node.

Upon success, data and length reflect the change.

Parameters:

	offset	The offset from which to remove characters.
	count	The number of characters to delete. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length then all characters from offset to the end of the data are deleted.

Exceptions:

DOMException

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data, or if the specified count is negative. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::replaceData	(	XMLSize_t	offset,
		XMLSize_t	count,
		const XMLCh *	arg
	)			[pure virtual]

Replace the characters starting at the specified character offset with the specified string.

Parameters:

	offset	The offset from which to start replacing.
	count	The number of characters to replace. If the sum of offset and count exceeds length , then all characters to the end of the data are replaced (i.e., the effect is the same as a remove method call with the same range, followed by an append method invocation).
	arg	The XMLCh* String with which the range must be replaced.

Exceptions:

DOMException

INDEX_SIZE_ERR: Raised if the specified offset is negative or greater than the number of characters in data, or if the specified count is negative. NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.

Since:

DOM Level 1

virtual void xercesc::DOMCharacterData::setData

(

const XMLCh *

data

)

[pure virtual]

Sets the character data of the node that implements this interface.

Parameters:

data

The XMLCh* String to set.

Since:

DOM Level 1
