New methods in Node

• Extends (or replaces?) DOM2 Node.

• Adds:

  Base URI

  The URI this document came from. May be null.

  Document order

  The order of a node relative to another reference node in document order

  Tree position

  The order of a node relative to another reference node in tree order

  Methods to test for equality

  Methods to work with namespaces

• I will only show the new methods. Currently, the plan is to simple add these to the exiting Node interface.

• In IDL:

  interface Node {
  
    readonly attribute DOMString baseURI;
  
    typedef enum _DocumentOrder {
      DOCUMENT_ORDER_PRECEDING,
      DOCUMENT_ORDER_FOLLOWING,
      DOCUMENT_ORDER_SAME,
      DOCUMENT_ORDER_UNORDERED
    };
    DocumentOrder;
    DocumentOrder compareDocumentOrder(in Node other) raises(DOMException);
  
    typedef enum _TreePosition {
      TREE_POSITION_PRECEDING,
      TREE_POSITION_FOLLOWING,
      TREE_POSITION_ANCESTOR,
      TREE_POSITION_DESCENDANT,
      TREE_POSITION_SAME,
      TREE_POSITION_UNORDERED
    };
    TreePosition;
    TreePosition compareTreePosition(in Node other) raises(DOMException);
             attribute DOMString textContent;
    readonly attribute DOMKey    key;
    
    boolean    isSameNode(in Node other);
    DOMString  lookupNamespacePrefix(in DOMString namespaceURI);
    DOMString  lookupNamespaceURI(in DOMString prefix);
    void       normalizeNS();
    boolean    equalsNode(in Node arg, in boolean deep);
    Node       getAs(in DOMString feature);
    }; 
   
  };
  

• Java binding:

  package org.w3c.dom;
  
  public interface Node {
  
    public String getBaseURI();
  
    public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_PRECEDING = 1;
    public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_FOLLOWING = 2;
    public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_SAME      = 3;
    public static final int DOCUMENT_ORDER_UNORDERED = 4;
    
    public int compareDocumentOrder(Node other) throws DOMException;
  
    public static final int TREE_POSITION_PRECEDING  = 1;
    public static final int TREE_POSITION_FOLLOWING  = 2;
    public static final int TREE_POSITION_ANCESTOR   = 3;
    public static final int TREE_POSITION_DESCENDANT = 4;
    public static final int TREE_POSITION_SAME       = 5;
    public static final int TREE_POSITION_UNORDERED  = 6;
  
    public int compareTreePosition(Node other) throws DOMException;
  
    public String getTextContent();
    public void   setTextContent(String textContent);
  
    public boolean isSameNode(Node other);
    public boolean equalsNode(Node arg, boolean deep);
  
    public String lookupNamespacePrefix(String namespaceURI);
    public String lookupNamespaceURI(String prefix);
    public void   normalizeNS();
    public Node   getAs(String feature);
  
    public Object getKey();
  
  }
