addProcessingInstruction

Document addProcessingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                  java.lang.String text)

Adds a processing instruction for the given target

Parameters:

text - is the textual data (key/value pairs) of the processing instruction

Returns:

this Document instance.

addProcessingInstruction

Document addProcessingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                  java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> data)

Adds a processing instruction for the given target

Parameters:

target - is the target of the processing instruction

data - is a Map of the key / value pairs of the processing instruction

addDocType

Document addDocType(java.lang.String name,
                    java.lang.String publicId,
                    java.lang.String systemId)

publicId - is the PUBLIC URI

systemId - is the SYSTEM URI

getDocType

DocumentType getDocType()

DOCUMENT ME!

Returns:

the DocumentType property

setDocType

void setDocType(DocumentType docType)

Sets the DocumentType property

Parameters:

docType - DOCUMENT ME!

getEntityResolver

org.xml.sax.EntityResolver getEntityResolver()

getXMLEncoding

java.lang.String getXMLEncoding()

Return the encoding of this document, as part of the XML declaration This is null when unspecified or when it is not known (such as when the Document was created in memory) or when the implementation does not support this operation. The way this encoding is retrieved also depends on the way the XML source is parsed. For instance, if the SAXReader is used and if the underlying XMLReader implementation support the org.xml.sax.ext.Locator2 interface, the result returned by this method is specified by the getEncoding() method of that interface.

Returns:

The encoding of this document, as stated in the XML declaration, or null if unknown.

Since:

setXMLEncoding

void setXMLEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)

Sets the encoding of this document as it will appear in the XML declaration part of the document.

Parameters:

encoding - the encoding of the document

Since:
