Class Overview

The Element class contains information about an XML element. Used to keep track of namespace alias/URI mappings. This class may be subclassed by XmlWriter subclasses that want to track additional information about output elements. The createElement(String, String, String) method can be overridden to instantiate a specialized Element subclass.

Constants

public static final int NOT_REPEATING

Sentinel value used for repeating elements.

See Also
Constant Value: -1 (0xffffffff)

Fields

public String enclosingDefaultNamespace

The default namespace uri that will be active after closure of this element. If null, indicates that the default namespace for the enclosing scope is the same as for the element scope.

public boolean hasAttributes

True if the element has attributes.

public final String name

Local name of the element.

public String nsAlias

Namespace prefix for the element.

public List<XmlNamespace> nsDecls

Namespace declarations associated with this element.

public final String nsUri

Full namespace uri for the element.

public boolean openTagEnded

Set to false if the closing bracket of the element's start tag has been written (i.e. if writeOpenTagEnd() has been called yet). Used to optimized elements that have no nested content or children.

public int repeatingCount

Indicates the number of repeating child elements written within the scope of the current startRepeatingElement() / endRepeatingElement() pair for this element. The value will be NOT_REPEATING if not currently writing repeating elements.

public int repeatingIndex

If an element is a part of a series of repeating element within its parent, this will contain the zero-based index of the child, else the value will be NOT_REPEATING.

public boolean unformattedChildren

True if this element contains unformatted children (text nodes, raw blobs of XML, or unescaped strings.

public String xmlLang

xml:lang attribute of the element.

Protected Constructors

protected XmlWriter.Element (String nsAlias, String nsUri, String name)

Constructs an element. This constructor should never be directly called, always use the createElement(String, String, String) method to create new elements.

Parameters
nsAlias
nsUri
name

Public Methods

public void addNamespace (XmlNamespace ns)

Adds a namespace declaration to the element, avoiding duplicates.

Parameters
ns
