Elem

final class Elem extends Node with UpdatableElemLike[Node, Elem] with TransformableElemLike[Node, Elem] with HasText

Immutable, thread-safe element node. It is the default element implementation in yaidom. As the default element implementation among several alternative element implementations, it strikes a balance between loss-less roundtripping and composability.

The parsers and serializers in packages eu.cdevreeze.yaidom.parse and eu.cdevreeze.yaidom.print return and take these default elements (or the corresponding Document instances), respectively.

As for its query API, class eu.cdevreeze.yaidom.Elem is among the most powerful element implementations offered by yaidom. These elements offer all of the eu.cdevreeze.yaidom.UpdatableElemApi and eu.cdevreeze.yaidom.TransformableElemApi query APIs.

See the documentation of the mixed-in query API traits for more details on the uniform query API offered by this class.

The following example illustrates the use of the yaidom uniform query API in combination with some Elem-specific methods. In this XML scripting example the namespace prefix "xsd" is replaced by prefix "xs", including those in QName-valued attributes. The trivial XML file of this example is the following XML Schema:

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://book" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  <xsd:element name="book">
    <xsd:complexType>
      <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="isbn" type="xsd:string" />
        <xsd:element name="title" type="xsd:string" />
        <xsd:element name="authors" type="xsd:string" />
      </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
  </xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

The edit action can be performed on this schemaElem as follows, starting with some checks:

// All descendant-or-self elements have the same Scope, mapping only prefix "xsd".
require(schemaElem.findAllElemsOrSelf.map(_.scope).distinct == List(Scope.from("xsd" -> "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")))

// All descendant-or-self elements have a QName with prefix "xsd".
require(schemaElem.findAllElemsOrSelf.map(_.qname.prefixOption).distinct == List(Some("xsd")))

// All descendant-or-self elements have unprefixed attributes only.
require(schemaElem.findAllElemsOrSelf.flatMap(_.attributes.toMap.keySet.map(_.prefixOption)).distinct == List(None))

// All descendant-or-self elements with "type" attributes contain only QNames with prefix "xsd" in the values of those attributes.
require(schemaElem.filterElemsOrSelf(e => (e \@ EName("type")).isDefined).forall(e => e.attributeAsQName(EName("type")).prefixOption == Some("xsd")))

// Replaces prefix "xsd" by "xs" throughout the element tree, including in "type" attributes.
val editedSchemaElem = schemaElem transformElemsOrSelf { elem =>
  val newScope = (elem.scope -- Set("xsd")) ++ Scope.from("xs" -> "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema")
  val newQName = QName("xs", elem.qname.localPart)
  val newTypeAttrOption = elem.attributeAsQNameOption(EName("type")).map(attr => QName("xs", attr.localPart).toString)

  elem.copy(qname = newQName, scope = newScope).plusAttributeOption(QName("type"), newTypeAttrOption)
}

Note that besides the uniform query API, this example uses some Elem-specific methods, such as attributeAsQName, copy and plusAttributeOption.

Class Elem is immutable, and (should be) thread-safe. Hence, Elems do not know about their parent element, if any.

An Elem has the following state:

Note that namespace declarations are not considered to be attributes in Elem, just like in the rest of yaidom. Elem construction is unsuccessful if the element name and/or some attribute names cannot be resolved using the Scope of the element (ignoring the default namespace, if any, for attributes). As can be seen from the above-mentioned state, namespaces are first-class citizens.

Elems can (relatively easily) be constructed manually in a bottom-up manner. Yet care must be taken to give the element and its descendants the correct Scope. Otherwise it is easy to introduce (prefixed) namespace undeclarations, which are not allowed in XML 1.0. The underlying issue is that functional Elem trees are created in a bottom-up manner, whereas namespace scoping works in a top-down manner. This is not a big issue in practice, since manual Elem creation is rather rare, and it is always possible to call method notUndeclaringPrefixes afterwards. An alternative method to create element trees by hand uses class eu.cdevreeze.yaidom.ElemBuilder. A manually created ElemBuilder can be converted to an Elem by calling method build.

Round-tripping (parsing and serializing) is not entirely loss-less, but (in spite of the good composability and rather small state) not much is lost. Comments, processing instructions and entity references are retained. Attribute order is retained, although according to the XML InfoSet this order is irrelevant. Namespace declaration order is not necessarily retained, however. Superfluous namespace declarations are also lost. (That is because namespace declarations are not explicitly stored in Elems, but are implicit, viz. parentElem.scope.relativize(this.scope)). The short versus long form of an empty element is also not remembered.

Equality has not been defined for class Elem (that is, it is reference equality). There is no clear sensible notion of equality for XML trees at the abstraction level of Elem. For example, think about prefixes, "ignorable whitespace", DTDs and XSDs, etc.

    Returns an "equivalent" Elem in which the implicit namespace declarations throughout the tree do not contain any prefixed namespace undeclarations, given the passed parent Scope.

    resolved.Elem(this.notUndeclaringPrefixes(parentScope)) == resolved.Elem(this)

    Moreover, there are no prefixed namespace undeclarations:

    map(_.namespaces.withoutDefaultNamespace.retainingUndeclarations).toSet ==
      Set(Declarations.Empty)

    Note that XML 1.0 does not allow prefix undeclarations, and this method helps avoid them, while preserving the "same" XML. So, when manipulating an Elem tree, calling notUndeclaringPrefixes(Scope.Empty) on the document element results in an equivalent Elem that has no prefixed namespace undeclarations anywhere in the tree.

    Returns the tree representation String, conforming to the tree representation DSL that creates NodeBuilders. That is, it does not correspond to the tree representation DSL of Nodes, but of NodeBuilders!

    There are a couple of advantages of this method compared to some "toXmlString" method which returns the XML string:

    • The parsed XML tree is made explicit, which makes debugging far easier, especially since method toString delegates to this method
    • The output of method toTreeRepr clearly corresponds to a NodeBuilder, and can indeed be parsed into one
    • That toTreeRepr output is even valid Scala code
    • When parsing the string into a NodeBuilder, the following is out of scope: character escaping (for XML), entity resolving, "ignorable" whitespace handling, etc.
