Interface DOMImplementationLS

Known Implementing Classes:
DomImpl

public interface DOMImplementationLS

DOMImplementationLS contains the factory methods for creating Load and Save objects.

The expectation is that an instance of the DOMImplementationLS interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the DOMImplementation interface or, if the Document supports the feature "Core" version "3.0" defined in [DOM Level 3 Core] , by using the method DOMImplementation.getFeature with parameter values "LS" (or "LS-Async") and "3.0" (respectively).

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save Specification.

Field Summary

static short
MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS
Create an asynchronous LSParser.
static short
MODE_SYNCHRONOUS

Method Summary

LSInput
createLSInput()
Create a new empty input source object where LSInput.characterStream, LSInput.byteStream , LSInput.stringData LSInput.systemId, LSInput.publicId, LSInput.baseURI, and LSInput.encoding are null, and LSInput.certifiedText is false.
LSOutput
createLSOutput()
Create a new empty output destination object where LSOutput.characterStream, LSOutput.byteStream, LSOutput.systemId, LSOutput.encoding are null.
LSParser
createLSParser(short mode, String schemaType)
Create a new LSParser.
LSSerializer
createLSSerializer()
Create a new LSSerializer object.

Method Details

createLSInput

public LSInput createLSInput()
Create a new empty input source object where LSInput.characterStream, LSInput.byteStream , LSInput.stringData LSInput.systemId, LSInput.publicId, LSInput.baseURI, and LSInput.encoding are null, and LSInput.certifiedText is false.

Returns:
The newly created input object.


createLSOutput

public LSOutput createLSOutput()
Create a new empty output destination object where LSOutput.characterStream, LSOutput.byteStream, LSOutput.systemId, LSOutput.encoding are null.

Returns:
The newly created output object.


createLSParser

public LSParser createLSParser(short mode,
                               String schemaType)
            throws DOMException
Create a new LSParser. The newly constructed parser may then be configured by means of its DOMConfiguration object, and used to parse documents by means of its parse method.

Parameters:
mode - The mode argument is either MODE_SYNCHRONOUS or MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS, if mode is MODE_SYNCHRONOUS then the LSParser that is created will operate in synchronous mode, if it's MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS then the LSParser that is created will operate in asynchronous mode.
schemaType - An absolute URI representing the type of the schema language used during the load of a Document using the newly created LSParser. Note that no lexical checking is done on the absolute URI. In order to create a LSParser for any kind of schema types (i.e. the LSParser will be free to use any schema found), use the value null.

Note: For W3C XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". For XML DTD [XML 1.0], applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml". Other Schema languages are outside the scope of the W3C and therefore should recommend an absolute URI in order to use this method.

Returns:
The newly created LSParser object. This LSParser is either synchronous or asynchronous depending on the value of the mode argument.

Note: By default, the newly created LSParser does not contain a DOMErrorHandler, i.e. the value of the " error-handler" configuration parameter is null. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter on the new LSParser object contains a reference to the default error handler.

Throws:
DOMException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the requested mode or schema type is not supported.


createLSSerializer

public LSSerializer createLSSerializer()
Create a new LSSerializer object.

Returns:
The newly created LSSerializer object.

Note: By default, the newly created LSSerializer has no DOMErrorHandler, i.e. the value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter is null. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter on the new LSSerializer object contains a reference to the default error handler.
