Node

Returns child axis i.e. all children of this node.

label of this node. I.e. "foo" for <foo/>)

Convenience method, looks up an unprefixed attribute in attributes of this node. Same as attributes.getValue(key)

Convenience method, looks up a prefixed attribute in attributes of this node. Same as attributes.getValue(uri, this, key)-

Returns attribute meaning all attributes of this node, prefixed and unprefixed, in no particular order. In class Node, this defaults to Null (the empty attribute list).

String representation of this node

Descendant axis (all descendants of this node, not including node itself) includes all text nodes, element nodes, comments and processing instructions.

Descendant axis (all descendants of this node, including this node) includes all text nodes, element nodes, comments and processing instructions.

The logic formerly found in typeTag$, as best I could infer it.

Convenience method, same as scope.getURI(pre) but additionally checks if scope is '''null'''.

used internally. Atom/Molecule = -1 PI = -2 Comment = -3 EntityRef = -5

Appends qualified name of this node to StringBuilder.

convenience, same as getNamespace(this.prefix)

Children which do not stringify to "" (needed for equality)

prefix of this node

method returning the namespace bindings of this node. by default, this is TopScope, which means there are no namespace bindings except the predefined one for "xml".

Returns a text representation of this node. Note that this is not equivalent to the XPath node-test called text(), it is rather an implementation of the XPath function string() Martin to Burak: to do: if you make this method abstract, the compiler will now complain if there's no implementation in a subclass. Is this what we want? Note that this would break doc/DocGenator and doc/ModelToXML, with an error message like:

doc\DocGenerator.scala:1219: error: object creation impossible, since there is a deferred declaration of method text in class Node of type => String which is not implemented in a subclass
new SpecialNode {
^

returns a sequence consisting of only this node

Same as toString('''false''').

Returns a type symbol (e.g. DTD, XSD), default '''null'''.

Projection function, which returns elements of this sequence based on the string that. Use:

• this \ "foo" to get a list of all children that are labelled with "foo";
• this \ "_" to get a list of all child elements (wildcard);
• this \ "@foo" to get the unprefixed attribute "foo" of this;
• this \ "@{uri}foo" to get the prefixed attribute "pre:foo" whose prefix "pre" is resolved to the namespace "uri".

For attribute projections, the resulting scala.xml.NodeSeq attribute values are wrapped in a scala.xml.Group.

There is no support for searching a prefixed attribute by its literal prefix.

The document order is preserved.

Convenience method which returns string text of the named attribute. Use:

• that \@ "foo" to get the string text of attribute "foo";

Projection function, which returns elements of this sequence and of all its subsequences, based on the string that. Use:

• this \\ "foo" to get a list of all elements that are labelled with"foo", includingthis`;
• this \\ "_" to get a list of all elements (wildcard), including this;
• this \\ "@foo" to get all unprefixed attributes "foo";
• this \\ "@{uri}foo" to get all prefixed attribute "pre:foo" whose prefix "pre" is resolved to the namespace "uri".

For attribute projections, the resulting scala.xml.NodeSeq attribute values are wrapped in a scala.xml.Group.

There is no support for searching a prefixed attribute by its literal prefix.

The document order is preserved.

It's be nice to make these final, but there are probably people out there subclassing the XML types, especially when it comes to equals. However WE at least can pretend they are final since clearly individual classes cannot be trusted to maintain a semblance of order.
