Interface LSSerializerFilter

All Superinterfaces:

NodeFilter

public interface LSSerializerFilter
extends NodeFilter

LSSerializerFilters provide applications the ability to examine nodes as they are being serialized and decide what nodes should be serialized or not. The LSSerializerFilter interface is based on the NodeFilter interface defined in [DOM Level 2 Traversal and Range] .

Document, DocumentType, DocumentFragment, Notation, and Entity nodes are not passed to the filter.

When serializing an Element, the element is passed to the filter before any of its attributes are passed to the filter. Namespace declaration attributes, and default attributes (except in the case when " discard-default-content" is set to false), are never passed to the filter.

The result of any attempt to modify a node passed to a LSSerializerFilter is implementation dependent.

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

Method Detail

getWhatToShow

int getWhatToShow()

Tells the LSSerializer what types of nodes to show to the filter. See NodeFilter for definition of the constants. The constants SHOW_DOCUMENT, SHOW_DOCUMENT_TYPE, SHOW_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT, SHOW_NOTATION, and SHOW_ENTITY are meaningless here, such nodes will never be passed to a LSSerializerFilter.
The constants used here are defined in [DOM Level 2 Traversal and Range] .
