## Member Function Documentation

virtual csRef<iDocumentNode> iDocumentNode::CreateNodeBefore | ( | csDocumentNodeType | type,
|  | iDocumentNode * | before = `0` |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Create a new node of the given type before the given node.

If the given node is 0 then it will be added at the end. Returns the new node or 0 if the given type is not valid (CS_NODE_DOCUMENT is not allowed here for example).

Implemented in csDocumentNodeReadOnly.

virtual bool iDocumentNode::Equals | ( | iDocumentNode * | other | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Compare this node with another node.

You have to use this function to compare document node objects as equality on the iDocumentNode pointer itself doesn't work in all cases (iDocumentNode is just a wrapper of the real node in some implementations).

Remarks:
  Does *not* check equality of contents!

virtual csRef<iDocumentAttribute> iDocumentNode::GetAttribute | ( | const char * | name | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an attribute by name.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

Referenced by CS::DocumentHelper::NodeAttributeCompare::operator()().

virtual csRef<iDocumentAttributeIterator> iDocumentNode::GetAttributes | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an iterator over all attributes.

Remarks:
  Never returns 0.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual const char* iDocumentNode::GetAttributeValue | ( | const char * | name | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an attribute value by name as a string.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

Referenced by CS::DocumentHelper::NodeAttributeRegexpTest::operator()(), and CS::DocumentHelper::NodeAttributeValueTest::operator()().

virtual bool iDocumentNode::GetAttributeValueAsBool | ( | const char * | name,
|  | bool | defaultvalue = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Get an attribute value by name as a bool.

"yes", "true", and "1" all are returned as true.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual float iDocumentNode::GetAttributeValueAsFloat | ( | const char * | name | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an attribute value by name as a floating point value.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual int iDocumentNode::GetAttributeValueAsInt | ( | const char * | name | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an attribute value by name as an integer.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual const char* iDocumentNode::GetContentsValue | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get the value of a node.

Scans all child nodes and looks for a node of type 'text', and returns the text of that node. WARNING! Make a copy of this text if you intend to use it later. The document parsing system does not guarantee anything about the lifetime of the returned string.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual float iDocumentNode::GetContentsValueAsFloat | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get the value of a node as float.

Scans all child nodes and looks for a node of type 'text', converts the text of that node to a number and returns the represented floating point value.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual int iDocumentNode::GetContentsValueAsInt | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get the value of a node as an integer.

Scans all child nodes and looks for a node of type 'text', converts the text of that node to a number and returns the represented integer.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual csRef<iDocumentNode> iDocumentNode::GetNode | ( | const char * | value | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get the first node of the given value.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual csRef<iDocumentNodeIterator> iDocumentNode::GetNodes | ( | const char * | value | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an iterator over all children of the specified value.

Remarks:
  Never returns 0.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

virtual csRef<iDocumentNodeIterator> iDocumentNode::GetNodes | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get an iterator over all children.

Remarks:
  Never returns 0.

Implemented in csDocumentNodeCommon.

Referenced by CS::DocumentHelper::RemoveDuplicateChildren().

virtual csRef<iDocumentNode> iDocumentNode::GetParent | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get the parent.

virtual csDocumentNodeType iDocumentNode::GetType | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

..).

Referenced by CS::DocumentHelper::NodeAttributeCompare::operator()(), and CS::DocumentHelper::NodeNameCompare::operator()().

virtual const char* iDocumentNode::GetValue | ( |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Get the value of this node.

What this is depends on the type of the node:
