ReferenceArc

Shorthand for attributeOption(expandedName).

Returns the arcrole. This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

If the taxonomy is not known to be schema-valid, use the following code instead:

attributeOption(ENames.XLinkArcroleEName)

Returns the Base Set key. This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

If the taxonomy is not known to be schema-valid, it may be impossible to create a Base Set key.

Returns the extended link role of the surrounding extended link element. This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

If the taxonomy is not known to be schema-valid, use the following code instead:

backingElem.parentOption.flatMap(_.attributeOption(ENames.XLinkRoleEName))

Returns all child elements, and returns them extremely fast. This is important for fast querying, at the expense of more expensive recursive creation.

Returns all child elements paired with their path entries.

This method is final, so more efficient implementations for sub-types are not supported. This implementation is only efficient if finding all child elements as well as computing their resolved names is efficient. That is not the case for DOM wrappers or Scala XML Elem wrappers (due to their expensive Scope computations). On the other hand, those wrapper element implementations are convenient, but not intended for heavy use in production. Hence, this method should typically be fast enough.

Finds the child element with the given Path.Entry (where this element is the root), if any, wrapped in an Option.

Returns the XLink "from". This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

If the taxonomy is not known to be schema-valid, use the following code instead:

attributeOption(ENames.XLinkFromEName)

Returns backingElem.key, or its equivalent.

Returns the "order" decimal attribute (defaulting to 1). This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

Returns key.path, or its equivalent backingElem.path.

Returns the "priority" integer attribute (defaulting to 0). This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

Returns the XLink "to". This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

If the taxonomy is not known to be schema-valid, use the following code instead:

attributeOption(ENames.XLinkToEName)

Returns the underlying parent element. This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.

If the taxonomy is not known to be schema-valid, use the following code instead:

backingElem.parentOption

Returns the "use" attribute (defaulting to "optional"). This may fail with an exception if the taxonomy is not schema-valid.
