Method Detail

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  A code representing the type of the underlying object, as defined above.

  Specified by:
    `getNodeType` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### normalize

    public void normalize()

  Puts all `Text` nodes in the full depth of the sub-tree underneath this `Node`, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (e.g., elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates `Text` nodes, i.e., there are neither adjacent `Text` nodes nor empty `Text` nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and re-loaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.In cases where the document contains `CDATASections`, the normalize operation alone may not be sufficient, since XPointers do not differentiate between `Text` nodes and `CDATASection` nodes.

  Specified by:
    `normalize` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### hasAttributes

    public boolean hasAttributes()

  Returns whether this node (if it is an element) has any attributes.

  Specified by:
    `hasAttributes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Returns:
    `true` if this node has any attributes, `false` otherwise.
  Since:
    DOM Level 2

### hasChildNodes

    public boolean hasChildNodes()

  Returns whether this node has any children.

  Specified by:
    `hasChildNodes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Returns:
    `true` if this node has any children, `false` otherwise.

### getLocalName

    public java.lang.String getLocalName()

  Returns the local part of the qualified name of this node.
  For nodes of any type other than `ELEMENT_NODE` and `ATTRIBUTE_NODE` and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as `createElement` from the `Document` interface, this is always `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getLocalName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Since:
    DOM Level 2

### getNamespaceURI

    public java.lang.String getNamespaceURI()

  The namespace URI of this node, or `null` if it is unspecified.
  This is not a computed value that is the result of a namespace lookup based on an examination of the namespace declarations in scope. It is merely the namespace URI given at creation time.
  For nodes of any type other than `ELEMENT_NODE` and `ATTRIBUTE_NODE` and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as `createElement` from the `Document` interface, this is always `null`.Per the Namespaces in XML Specification an attribute does not inherit its namespace from the element it is attached to. If an attribute is not explicitly given a namespace, it simply has no namespace.

  Specified by:
    `getNamespaceURI` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Since:
    DOM Level 2

### getNodeName

    public java.lang.String getNodeName()

  The name of this node, depending on its type; see the table above.

  Specified by:
    `getNodeName` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getNodeValue

    public java.lang.String getNodeValue()
                                  throws org.w3c.dom.DOMException

  The value of this node, depending on its type; see the table above. When it is defined to be `null`, setting it has no effect.

  Specified by:
    `getNodeValue` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a `DOMString` variable on the implementation platform.

### getPrefix

    public java.lang.String getPrefix()

  The namespace prefix of this node, or `null` if it is unspecified.
  Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the `nodeName` attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the `tagName` and `name` attributes of the `Element` and `Attr` interfaces, when applicable.
  Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the `namespaceURI` and `localName` do not change.
  For nodes of any type other than `ELEMENT_NODE` and `ATTRIBUTE_NODE` and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as `createElement` from the `Document` interface, this is always `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getPrefix` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal character, per the XML 1.0 specification .
    NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
    NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified `prefix` is malformed per the Namespaces in XML specification, if the `namespaceURI` of this node is `null`, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the `namespaceURI` of this node is different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the `namespaceURI` of this node is different from " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if this node is an attribute and the `qualifiedName` of this node is "xmlns" .
  Since:
    DOM Level 2

  Specified by:
    `setNodeValue` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - DOMSTRING_SIZE_ERR: Raised when it would return more characters than fit in a `DOMString` variable on the implementation platform.

### setPrefix

    public void setPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)

  The namespace prefix of this node, or `null` if it is unspecified.
  Note that setting this attribute, when permitted, changes the `nodeName` attribute, which holds the qualified name, as well as the `tagName` and `name` attributes of the `Element` and `Attr` interfaces, when applicable.
  Note also that changing the prefix of an attribute that is known to have a default value, does not make a new attribute with the default value and the original prefix appear, since the `namespaceURI` and `localName` do not change.
  For nodes of any type other than `ELEMENT_NODE` and `ATTRIBUTE_NODE` and nodes created with a DOM Level 1 method, such as `createElement` from the `Document` interface, this is always `null`.

  Specified by:
    `setPrefix` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Throws:
    `org.w3c.dom.DOMException` - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified prefix contains an illegal character, per the XML 1.0 specification .
    NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
    NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the specified `prefix` is malformed per the Namespaces in XML specification, if the `namespaceURI` of this node is `null`, if the specified prefix is "xml" and the `namespaceURI` of this node is different from "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if this node is an attribute and the specified prefix is "xmlns" and the `namespaceURI` of this node is different from " http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if this node is an attribute and the `qualifiedName` of this node is "xmlns" .
  Since:
    DOM Level 2

  Set the owner document

  Parameters:
    `doc` -

### getOwnerDocument

    public org.w3c.dom.Document getOwnerDocument()

  The `Document` object associated with this node. This is also the `Document` object used to create new nodes. When this node is a `Document` or a `DocumentType` which is not used with any `Document` yet, this is `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getOwnerDocument` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getAttributes

    public org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap getAttributes()

  A `NamedNodeMap` containing the attributes of this node (if it is an `Element`) or `null` otherwise.

  Specified by:
    `getAttributes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getFirstChild

  Specified by:
    `getFirstChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getLastChild

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getLastChild()

  The last child of this node. If there is no such node, this returns `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getLastChild` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getNextSibling

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getNextSibling()

  The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getNextSibling` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getParentNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getParentNode()

  The parent of this node. All nodes, except `Attr`, `Document`, `DocumentFragment`, `Entity`, and `Notation` may have a parent. However, if a node has just been created and not yet added to the tree, or if it has been removed from the tree, this is `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getParentNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### getPreviousSibling

    public org.w3c.dom.Node getPreviousSibling()

  The node immediately preceding this node. If there is no such node, this returns `null`.

  Specified by:
    `getPreviousSibling` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### cloneNode

    public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

  Returns a duplicate of this node, i.e., serves as a generic copy constructor for nodes. The duplicate node has no parent; ( `parentNode` is `null`.).
  Cloning an `Element` copies all attributes and their values, including those generated by the XML processor to represent defaulted attributes, but this method does not copy any text it contains unless it is a deep clone, since the text is contained in a child `Text` node. Cloning an `Attribute` directly, as opposed to be cloned as part of an `Element` cloning operation, returns a specified attribute ( `specified` is `true`). Cloning any other type of node simply returns a copy of this node.
  Note that cloning an immutable subtree results in a mutable copy, but the children of an `EntityReference` clone are readonly . In addition, clones of unspecified `Attr` nodes are specified. And, cloning `Document`, `DocumentType`, `Entity`, and `Notation` nodes is implementation dependent.

  Specified by:
    `cloneNode` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Parameters:
    `deep` - If `true`, recursively clone the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, clone only the node itself (and its attributes, if it is an `Element`).
  Returns:
    The duplicate node.

### getChildNodes

    public org.w3c.dom.NodeList getChildNodes()

  A `NodeList` that contains all children of this node. If there are no children, this is a `NodeList` containing no nodes.

  Specified by:
    `getChildNodes` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`

### isSupported

    public boolean isSupported(java.lang.String feature,
                               java.lang.String version)

  Tests whether the DOM implementation implements a specific feature and that feature is supported by this node.

  Specified by:
    `isSupported` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Node`
  Parameters:
    `feature` - The name of the feature to test. This is the same name which can be passed to the method `hasFeature` on `DOMImplementation`.
    `version` - This is the version number of the feature to test. In Level 2, version 1, this is the string "2.0". If the version is not specified, supporting any version of the feature will cause the method to return `true`.
  Returns:
    Returns `true` if the specified feature is supported on this node, `false` otherwise.
  Since:
    DOM Level 2

  Specified by:
    `detachNode` in interface `Node`

### recycleNode

    public void recycleNode()

  Notifies the implementation that this `Node` object is no longer being used by the application and that the implementation is free to reuse this object for nodes that may be created later.
