Field Detail

sequence

protected int sequence

Method Detail

addChild

public void addChild(NodeImpl node, int index)
Add a child node to this node. For system use only. Note: normalizing adjacent text nodes is the responsibility of the caller.

compact

public void compact(int size)
Compact the space used by this node

enumerateChildren

public final AxisIterator enumerateChildren(NodeTest test)
Get an enumeration of the children of this node

Parameters: test A NodeTest to be satisfied by the child nodes, or null if all child node are to be returned

getFirstChild

public final NodeInfo getFirstChild()
Get the first child node of the element

Returns: the first child node of the required type, or null if there are no children

getLastChild

public final NodeInfo getLastChild()
Get the last child node of the element

Returns: the last child of the element, or null if there are no children

getNthChild

protected final NodeImpl getNthChild(int n)
Get the nth child node of the element (numbering from 0)

Returns: the last child of the element, or null if there is no n'th child

getSequenceNumber

protected final long getSequenceNumber()
Get the node sequence number (in document order). Sequence numbers are monotonic but not consecutive. In the current implementation, parent nodes (elements and roots) have a zero least-significant word, while namespaces, attributes, text nodes, comments, and PIs have the top word the same as their owner and the bottom half reflecting their relative position.

getStringValue

public String getStringValue()
Return the string-value of the node, that is, the concatenation of the character content of all descendent elements and text nodes.

Returns: the accumulated character content of the element, including descendant elements.

getStringValueCS

public CharSequence getStringValueCS()

hasChildNodes

public final boolean hasChildNodes()
Determine if the node has any children.

useChildrenArray

public void useChildrenArray(NodeImpl[] array)
Supply an array to be used for the array of children. For system use only.
