public class CoreDocumentImpl
extends ParentNode
implements Document

The Document interface represents the entire HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.

Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc. cannot exist outside the context of a Document, the Document interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. The Node objects created have a ownerDocument attribute which associates them with the Document within whose context they were created.

The CoreDocumentImpl class only implements the DOM Core. Additional modules are supported by the more complete DocumentImpl subclass.

Note: When any node in the document is serialized, the entire document is serialized along with it.

### kidOK

### changes

    protected int changes

  Number of alterations made to this document since its creation. Serves as a "dirty bit" so that live objects such as NodeList can recognize when an alteration has been made and discard its cached state information.

  Any method that alters the tree structure MUST cause or be accompanied by a call to changed(), to inform it that any outstanding NodeLists may have to be updated.

  (Required because NodeList is simultaneously "live" and integer- indexed -- a bad decision in the DOM's design.)

  Note that changes which do not affect the tree's structure -- changing the node's name, for example -- do _not_ have to call changed().

  Alternative implementation would be to use a cryptographic Digest value rather than a count. This would have the advantage that "harmless" changes (those producing equal() trees) would not force NodeList to resynchronize. Disadvantage is that it's slightly more prone to "false negatives", though that's the difference between "wildly unlikely" and "absurdly unlikely". IF we start maintaining digests, we should consider taking advantage of them. Note: This used to be done a node basis, so that we knew what subtree changed. But since only DeepNodeList really use this today, the gain appears to be really small compared to the cost of having an int on every (parent) node plus having to walk up the tree all the way to the root to mark the branch as changed everytime a node is changed. So we now have a single counter global to the document. It means that some objects may flush their cache more often than necessary, but this makes nodes smaller and only the document needs to be marked as changed.

Method Detail

### getOwnerDocument

    public final Document getOwnerDocument()

  Description copied from interface: Node
  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`.
  Overrides:
    getOwnerDocument in class ParentNode

### getNodeType

    public short getNodeType()

  Returns the node type.
  Overrides:
    getNodeType in class NodeImpl

### getNodeName

    public java.lang.String getNodeName()

  Returns the node name.
  Overrides:
    getNodeName in class NodeImpl

### cloneNode

    public Node cloneNode(boolean deep)

  Deep-clone a document, including fixing ownerDoc for the cloned children. Note that this requires bypassing the WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR protection. I've chosen to implement it by calling importNode which is DOM Level 2.
  Overrides:
    cloneNode in class ParentNode
  Parameters:
    `deep` - boolean, iff true replicate children
  Returns:
    org.w3c.dom.Node

### cloneNode

    protected void cloneNode(CoreDocumentImpl newdoc,
                             boolean deep)

  internal method to share code with subclass

### insertBefore

    public Node insertBefore(Node newChild,
                             Node refChild)
                      throws DOMException

  Since a Document may contain at most one top-level Element child, and at most one DocumentType declaraction, we need to subclass our add-children methods to implement this constraint. Since appendChild() is implemented as insertBefore(,null), altering the latter fixes both.

  While I'm doing so, I've taken advantage of the opportunity to cache documentElement and docType so we don't have to search for them. REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way

  Overrides:
    insertBefore in class ParentNode
  Tags copied from interface: Node
  Parameters:
    `newChildThe` - node to insert.
    `refChildThe` - reference node, i.e., the node before which the new node must be inserted.
  Returns:
    The node being inserted.
  Throws:
    DOMException - HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the `newChild` node, or if the node to insert is one of this node's ancestors.
    WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if `newChild` was created from a different document than the one that created this node.
    NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly or if the parent of the node being inserted is readonly.
    NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if `refChild` is not a child of this node.

### removeChild

    public Node removeChild(Node oldChild)
                     throws DOMException

  Since insertBefore caches the docElement (and, currently, docType), removeChild has to know how to undo the cache REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way

    removeChild in class ParentNode
  Tags copied from interface: Node
  Parameters:
    `oldChildThe` - node being removed.
  Returns:
    The node removed.
  Throws:
    DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node is readonly.
    NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if `oldChild` is not a child of this node.

### replaceChild

    public Node replaceChild(Node newChild,
                             Node oldChild)
                      throws DOMException

  Since we cache the docElement (and, currently, docType), replaceChild has to update the cache REVISIT: According to the spec it is not allowed to alter neither the document element nor the document type in any way
  Overrides:
    replaceChild in class ParentNode
  Tags copied from interface: Node
  Parameters:
    `newChildThe` - new node to put in the child list.
    `oldChildThe` - node being replaced in the list.
  Returns:
    The node replaced.
  Throws:
    DOMException - HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR: Raised if this node is of a type that does not allow children of the type of the `newChild` node, or if the node to put in is one of this node's ancestors.
    WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: Raised if `newChild` was created from a different document than the one that created this node.
    NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised if this node or the parent of the new node is readonly.
    NOT_FOUND_ERR: Raised if `oldChild` is not a child of this node.

    `importedNodeThe` - node to import.
    `deepIf` - `true`, recursively import the subtree under the specified node; if `false`, import only the node itself, as explained above. This has no effect on `Attr` , `EntityReference`, and `Notation` nodes.
  Returns:
    The imported node that belongs to this `Document`.
  Throws:
    DOMException - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the type of node being imported is not supported.

### adoptNode

    public Node adoptNode(Node source)

    `DocumentImpl.importNode`

### getElementById

    public Element getElementById(java.lang.String elementId)

  Introduced in DOM Level 2 Returns the Element whose ID is given by elementId. If no such element exists, returns null. Behavior is not defined if more than one element has this ID.

  Note: The DOM implementation must have information that says which attributes are of type ID. Attributes with the name "ID" are not of type ID unless so defined. Implementations that do not know whether attributes are of type ID or not are expected to return null.

    `getIdentifier(java.lang.String)`

### putIdentifier

    public void putIdentifier(java.lang.String idName,
                              Element element)

  Registers an identifier name with a specified element node. If the identifier is already registered, the new element node replaces the previous node. If the specified element node is null, removeIdentifier() is called.

    `getIdentifier(java.lang.String)`, `removeIdentifier(java.lang.String)`

### getIdentifier

    public Element getIdentifier(java.lang.String idName)

  Returns a previously registered element with the specified identifier name, or null if no element is registered.

                            throws DOMException

  Introduced in DOM Level 2.

  Creates an element of the given qualified name and namespace URI. If the given namespaceURI is null or an empty string and the qualifiedName has a prefix that is "xml", the created element is bound to the predefined namespace "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" [Namespaces].

  Specified by:
    createElementNS in interface Document
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The namespace URI of the element to create.
    `qualifiedName` - The qualified name of the element type to instantiate.
  Returns:
    Element A new Element object with the following attributes:
  Throws:
    DOMException - INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name contains an invalid character.
    DOMException - NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if the qualifiedName has a prefix that is "xml" and the namespaceURI is neither null nor an empty string nor "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", or if the qualifiedName has a prefix different from "xml" and the namespaceURI is null or an empty string.

  Introduced in DOM Level 2.

  Creates an attribute of the given qualified name and namespace URI. If the given namespaceURI is null or an empty string and the qualifiedName has a prefix that is "xml", the created element is bound to the predefined namespace "http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" [Namespaces].

  Specified by:
    createAttributeNS in interface Document
  Parameters:
    `namespaceURI` - The namespace URI of the attribute to create. When it is null or an empty string, this method behaves like createAttribute.
    `qualifiedName` - The qualified name of the attribute to instantiate.
