Package nu.xom

nu.xom is the core package of XOM that contains all the basic classes representing the different kinds of nodes: elements, attributes, comments, text nodes, and so forth.

See: Description

Class Summary

Class	Description
Attribute	This class represents an attribute such as type="empty" or xlink:href="http://www.example.com".
Attribute.Type	Uses the type-safe enumeration design pattern to represent attribute types, as specified by XML DTDs.
Builder	This class is responsible for creating XOM Document objects from a URL, file, string, or input stream by reading an XML document.
Comment	This class represents an XML comment such as <-- This is a comment-->.
DocType	Represents an XML document type declaration such as <!DOCTYPE book SYSTEM "docbookx.dtd">.
Document	The Document class represents a complete XML document including its root element, prolog, and epilog.
Element	This class represents an XML element.
Elements	A read-only list of elements for traversal purposes.
Namespace	Represents a namespace in scope.
Node	The generic superclass for all the contents of an XML document.
NodeFactory	Builders use a NodeFactory object to construct each Node object (Element, Text, Attribute, etc.) they add to the tree.
Nodes	Implements a list of nodes for traversal purposes.
ParentNode	The generic superclass for nodes that have children.
ProcessingInstruction	This class represents an XML processing instruction.
Serializer	Outputs a Document object in a specific encoding using various options for controlling white space, normalization, indenting, line breaking, and base URIs.
Text	This class represents a run of text.
XPathContext	Provides namespace prefix bindings for use in an XPath expression.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
CycleException	Indicates an attempt to insert an ancestor element as one of its own descendants.
IllegalAddException	Indicates an attempt to add a node in a wrong place; for instance adding a Text node to a Document object.
IllegalCharacterDataException	Indicates an attempt to create text content that is not allowed in XML 1.0.
IllegalDataException	Indicates an attempt to set some value to malformed content; for instance by adding a string containing a null or a vertical tab to a text node, or using white space in an element name.
IllegalNameException	Indicates an attempt to assign a name that is not a legal XML name.
IllegalTargetException	Indicates an attempt to assign a processing instruction target that is not a legal XML 1.0 processing instruction target.
MalformedURIException	Indicates that a string intended for use as a URI or URI reference (typically a namespace name or a base URI) is not syntactically correct according to RFC 3986.
MultipleParentException	Indicates an attempt to add a node that already has a parent to the same or a different parent.
NamespaceConflictException	Signals an attempt to set a namespace in a way that conflicts with an existing namespace; for instance, adding an attribute to an element that has the same prefix as the element but maps it to a different URI.
NoSuchAttributeException	Indicates that an attribute with a certain name and/or namespace does not exist.
NoSuchChildException	Indicates that a child with a certain name and/or namespace does not exist.
ParsingException	The generic superclass for all the checked exceptions thrown in XOM.
UnavailableCharacterException	Thrown when serializing documents that contain characters not available in the current encoding, and which cannot be escaped (for instance, because they're in an element name or processing instruction data).
ValidityException	Signals a validity error in a document being parsed.
WellformednessException	Indicates an attempt to do or create something that could not possibly be serialized in a namespace well-formed XML 1.0 document.
XMLException	The generic superclass for most runtime exceptions thrown in nu.xom.
XPathException	Indicates problems with XPath syntax or evaluation.
XPathTypeException	Indicates that an XPath query returned a non-node-set.

Package nu.xom Description

nu.xom is the core package of XOM that contains all the basic classes representing the different kinds of nodes: elements, attributes, comments, text nodes, and so forth. It also contains the basic classes for parsing and serializing XML documents, as well as the various exception classes representing the different things that can go wrong while working with XOM.
