    public interface Document
    extends Container
    A Container representing a document node.

    If the document is constrained to be well-formed then the permitted sequence of events is (COMMENT | PI)* ELEMENT (COMMENT | PI)* CLOSE.

    If the document is NOT constrained to be well-formed then the permitted sequence of events is (COMMENT | PI | TEXT | ELEMENT)* CLOSE.

    • Method Detail

      • text

        Document text​(java.lang.CharSequence value)
               throws SaxonApiException
        Description copied from interface: Container
        Add text content to the current element node (or, in the case of a non-well-formed document, as a child of the document node).

        Multiple consecutive calls on text() generate a single text node with concatenated content: that is, text("one).text("two") is equivalent to text("onetwo").

        Specified by:
        text in interface Container
        Parameters:
        value - the content of the text node. Supplying a zero-length string or null is permitted, but has no effect.
        Returns:
        the Container to which the method is applied. This is to allow chained method calls, of the form tag.element("a").text("content").close()
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the specified constraints are violated, or if the implementation detects any problems
      • comment

        Document comment​(java.lang.CharSequence value)
                  throws SaxonApiException
        Description copied from interface: Container
        Add a comment node to the current element or document node.

        The method call is allowed in states START_TAG, CONTENT, and NON_TEXT_CONTENT, and it sets the state to CONTENT.

        Specified by:
        comment in interface Container
        Parameters:
        value - the content of the comment node. The value should not contain the string "--"; it is implementation-defined whether this causes an exception, or whether some recovery action is taken such as replacing the string by "- -". If the value is null, no comment node is written.
        Returns:
        the Container to which the method is applied. This is to allow chained method calls, of the form tag.element("a").comment("optional").close()
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the specified constraints are violated, or if the implementation detects any problems
      • processingInstruction

        Document processingInstruction​(java.lang.String name,
                                       java.lang.CharSequence value)
                                throws SaxonApiException
        Description copied from interface: Container
        Add a processing instruction node to the current element or document node.

        The method call is allowed in states START_TAG, CONTENT, and NON_TEXT_CONTENT, and it sets the state to CONTENT.

        Specified by:
        processingInstruction in interface Container
        Parameters:
        name - the name ("target") of the processing instruction. The level of validation applied to the supplied name is implementation-defined. Must not be null.
        value - the content ("data") of the processing instruction node. The value should not contain the string "?>"; it is implementation-defined whether this causes an exception, or whether some recovery action is taken such as replacing the string by "? >". If the value is null, no processing instruction node is written.
        Returns:
        the Container to which the method is applied. This is to allow chained method calls, of the form tag.element("a").processing-instruction("target", "data").close()
        Throws:
        SaxonApiException - if the specified constraints are violated, or if the implementation detects any problems
