Public Member Functions inherited from SimTK::Xml::Node
bool	operator== (const Node &other) const
	Comparing Nodes for equality means asking if the two Node handles are referring to exactly the same object; two different nodes that happen to have the same properties will not test equal by this criteria. More...
bool	operator!= (const Node &other) const
	Inequality test using same criteria as operator==(). More...
	Node ()
	Create an empty Node handle that can be used to hold a reference to any kind of Node. More...
	Node (const Node &src)
	Copy constructor is shallow; that is, this handle will refer to the same node as the source. More...
Node &	operator= (const Node &src)
	Copy assignment is shallow; the handle is first cleared and then will refer to the same node as the source. More...
Node	clone () const
	The clone() method makes a deep copy of this Node and its children and returns a new orphan Node with the same contents; ordinary assignment and copy construction is shallow. More...
	~Node ()
	The Node handle destructor does not recover heap space so if you create orphan nodes and then don't put them in a document there will be a memory leak unless you explicitly destruct them first with clearOrphan(). More...
void	clear ()
	This method restores the Node handle to its default-constructed state but does not recover any heap space; use clearOrphan() if you know this node was never put into a document. More...
void	clearOrphan ()
	This method explictly frees the heap space for an orphan node that was created but never inserted into a document. More...
NodeType	getNodeType () const
	Get the Xml::NodeType of this node. More...
String	getNodeTypeAsString () const
	Get the Node type as a string; an empty handle returns "NoNode". More...
bool	isValid () const
	Return true if this Node handle is referencing some node, false if the Node handle is empty. More...
bool	isTopLevelNode () const
	Return true if this Node is owned by the top-level Xml document, false if the Node is owned by an Element or is an orphan, or if the Node handle is empty. More...
bool	isOrphan () const
	Return true if this Node is an orphan, meaning that it is not empty, but is not owned by any element or top-level document. More...
bool	hasParentElement () const
	Return true if this node has a parent, i.e. More...
Element	getParentElement ()
	Return a handle referencing this node's parent if it has one, otherwise throws an error; check first with hasParentElement() if you aren't sure. More...

	Return a text value associated with this Node (not including its child nodes if any); the behavior depends on the NodeType. More...

Conversion to Unknown from Node
If you have a handle to a Node, such as would be returned by a node_iterator, you can check whether that Node is an Unknown node and if so cast it to one.

Detailed Description

This is something we don't understand but can carry around.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SimTK::Xml::Unknown::Unknown ( )

inline

Create an empty Unknown node handle, suitable only for holding references to other Unknown nodes.

SimTK::Xml::Unknown::Unknown ( const String &  contents )

explicit

Create a new Unknown node with the given contents; the node is not yet owned by any XML document.

Don't include the tag delimiters "<" and ">" in the contents; those will be added automatically if the document is serialized to a file or string. That is, if you want "<!SOMETHING blah blah>", the contents you provide should be "!SOMETHING blah blah".

SimTK::Xml::Unknown::Unknown ( Element &  element, const String &  contents  )

inline

Create a new Unknown node and append it to the list of nodes that are children of the given Element.

The Element becomes the owner of the new Unknown node although the handle retains a reference to it.

Member Function Documentation

Unknown SimTK::Xml::Unknown::clone

(

)

const

The clone() method makes a deep copy of this Unknown node and returns a new orphan Unknown node with the same contents; ordinary assignment and copy construction are shallow.

const String& SimTK::Xml::Unknown::getContents

(

)

const

Obtain the contents of this Unknown node.

This is everything that would be between the "<" and ">" in the XML document.

void SimTK::Xml::Unknown::setContents

(

const String &

contents

)

Change the contents of this Unknown node.

This is everything that would be between the "<" and ">" in the XML document.

static bool SimTK::Xml::Unknown::isA ( const Node &  )

static

Test whether a given Node is an Unknown node.

static const Unknown& SimTK::Xml::Unknown::getAs ( const Node &  node )

static

Recast a Node to a const Unknown, throwing an error if the Node is not actually an Unknown node.

See also

isA()

static Unknown& SimTK::Xml::Unknown::getAs ( Node &  node )

static

Recast a writable Node to a writable Unknown, throwing an error if the Node is not actually an Unknown node.
