Interface Notation

All Superinterfaces:

Node

public interface Notation
extends Node

This interface represents a notation declared in the DTD. A notation either declares, by name, the format of an unparsed entity (see section 4.7 of the XML 1.0 specification [XML 1.0]), or is used for formal declaration of processing instruction targets (see section 2.6 of the XML 1.0 specification [XML 1.0]). The nodeName attribute inherited from Node is set to the declared name of the notation.

The DOM Core does not support editing Notation nodes; they are therefore readonly.

A Notation node does not have any parent.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Since:

1.4, DOM Level 2

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Node	appendChild(Node newChild)	Adds the node newChild to the end of the list of children of this node.
Node	cloneNode(boolean deep)	Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes.
short	compareDocumentPosition(Node other)	Compares the reference node, i.e. the node on which this method is being called, with a node, i.e. the one passed as a parameter, with regard to their position in the document and according to the document order.
NamedNodeMap	getAttributes()	A NamedNodeMap containing the attributes of this node (if it is an Element) or null otherwise.
String	getBaseURI()	The absolute base URI of this node or null if the implementation wasn't able to obtain an absolute URI.
NodeList	getChildNodes()	A NodeList that contains all children of this node.
Object	getFeature(String feature, String version)	This method returns a specialized object which implements the specialized APIs of the specified feature and version, as specified in .
Node	getFirstChild()	The first child of this node.
Node	getLastChild()	The last child of this node.
String	getLocalName()	Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
String	getNamespaceURI()	The namespace URI of this node, or null if it is unspecified (see ).
Node	getNextSibling()	The node immediately following this node.
String	getNodeName()	The name of this node, depending on its type; see the table above.
short	getNodeType()	A code representing the type of the underlying object, as defined above.
String	getNodeValue()	The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above.
Document	getOwnerDocument()	The Document object associated with this node.
Node	getParentNode()	The parent of this node.
String	getPrefix()	The namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified.
Node	getPreviousSibling()	The node immediately preceding this node.
String	getTextContent()	This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants.
Object	getUserData(String key)	Retrieves the object associated to a key on a this node.
boolean	hasAttributes()	Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.
boolean	hasChildNodes()	Returns whether this node has any children.
Node	insertBefore(Node newChild, Node refChild)	Inserts the node newChild before the existing child node refChild.
boolean	isDefaultNamespace(String namespaceURI)	This method checks if the specified namespaceURI is the default namespace or not.
boolean	isEqualNode(Node arg)	Tests whether two nodes are equal.
boolean	isSameNode(Node other)	Returns whether this node is the same node as the given one.
boolean	isSupported(String feature, String version)	Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node, as specified in .
String	lookupNamespaceURI(String prefix)	Look up the namespace URI associated to the given prefix, starting from this node.
String	lookupPrefix(String namespaceURI)	Look up the prefix associated to the given namespace URI, starting from this node.
void	normalize()	Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes.
Node	removeChild(Node oldChild)	Removes the child node indicated by oldChild from the list of children, and returns it.
Node	replaceChild(Node newChild, Node oldChild)	Replaces the child node oldChild with newChild in the list of children, and returns the oldChild node.
void	setNodeValue(String nodeValue)	The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above.
void	setPrefix(String prefix)	The namespace prefix of this node, or null if it is unspecified.
void	setTextContent(String textContent)	This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants.
Object	setUserData(String key, Object data, UserDataHandler handler)	Associate an object to a key on this node.

Method Details
