    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    static Map<QName,String>
    Obtains an element's attributes as Map.
    static String
    Tries to merge all direct Text and CDATA children of the given Node and concatenates their value.
    static QName
    Extracts a Node's name, namespace URI (if any) and prefix as a QName.
    static Node
    Creates a new Node (of the same type as the original node) that is similar to the orginal but doesn't contain any empty text or CDATA nodes and where all textual content including attribute values or comments are trimmed and normalized.
    static Node
    Creates a new Node (of the same type as the original node) that is similar to the orginal but doesn't contain any text or CDATA nodes that only consist of whitespace.
    static Node
    Creates a new Node (of the same type as the original node) that is similar to the orginal but doesn't contain any empty text or CDATA nodes and where all textual content including attribute values or comments are trimmed.

  • Method Details

    • getQName

      public static QName getQName(Node n)
      Extracts a Node's name, namespace URI (if any) and prefix as a QName.
      Parameters:
      n - the node
      Returns:
      its QName
    • getMergedNestedText

      public static String getMergedNestedText(Node n)
      Tries to merge all direct Text and CDATA children of the given Node and concatenates their value.
      Parameters:
      n - the node
      Returns:
      an empty string if the Node has no Text or CDATA children.
    • getAttributes

      public static Map<QName,String> getAttributes(Node n)
      Obtains an element's attributes as Map.
      Parameters:
      n - the node
      Returns:
      attributes
    • stripWhitespace

      public static Node stripWhitespace(Node original)
      Creates a new Node (of the same type as the original node) that is similar to the orginal but doesn't contain any empty text or CDATA nodes and where all textual content including attribute values or comments are trimmed.
      Parameters:
      original - the original node
      Returns:
      cloned node without empty text or cdata children
    • normalizeWhitespace

      public static Node normalizeWhitespace(Node original)
      Creates a new Node (of the same type as the original node) that is similar to the orginal but doesn't contain any empty text or CDATA nodes and where all textual content including attribute values or comments are trimmed and normalized.

      "normalized" in this context means all whitespace characters are replaced by space characters and consecutive whitespace characaters are collapsed.

      Parameters:
      original - the original node
      Returns:
      cloned node without empty text or cdata children and where all attributes and texts are normalized
    • stripElementContentWhitespace

      public static Node stripElementContentWhitespace(Node original)
      Creates a new Node (of the same type as the original node) that is similar to the orginal but doesn't contain any text or CDATA nodes that only consist of whitespace.

      This doesn't have any effect if applied to a text or CDATA node itself.

      Parameters:
      original - the original node
      Returns:
      cloned node without whitespace-only text or cdata children
