org.w3c.dom.traversal.DocumentTraversal |
DocumentTraversal
contains methods that create
NodeIterators
and TreeWalkers
to traverse a
node and its children in document order (depth first, pre-order
traversal, which is equivalent to the order in which the start tags occur
in the text representation of the document). In DOMs which support the
Traversal feature, DocumentTraversal
will be implemented by
the same objects that implement the Document interface.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification.
Public Methods | |||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Create a new
NodeIterator over the subtree rooted at the
specified node. | |||||||||||
Create a new
TreeWalker over the subtree rooted at the
specified node. |
Create a new NodeIterator
over the subtree rooted at the
specified node.
root | The node which will be iterated together with its
children. The NodeIterator is initially positioned
just before this node. The whatToShow flags and the
filter, if any, are not considered when setting this position. The
root must not be null . |
---|---|
whatToShow | This flag specifies which node types may appear in
the logical view of the tree presented by the
NodeIterator . See the description of
NodeFilter for the set of possible SHOW_
values.These flags can be combined using OR . |
filter | The NodeFilter to be used with this
NodeIterator , or null to indicate no
filter. |
entityReferenceExpansion | The value of this flag determines whether entity reference nodes are expanded. |
NodeIterator
.DOMException | NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the specified root is
null .

Create a new TreeWalker
over the subtree rooted at the
specified node.
root | The node which will serve as the root for the
TreeWalker . The whatToShow flags and the
NodeFilter are not considered when setting this value;
any node type will be accepted as the root . The
currentNode of the TreeWalker is
initialized to this node, whether or not it is visible. The
root functions as a stopping point for traversal
methods that look upward in the document structure, such as
parentNode and nextNode. The root must
not be null . |
---|---|
whatToShow | This flag specifies which node types may appear in
the logical view of the tree presented by the
TreeWalker . See the description of
NodeFilter for the set of possible SHOW_
values.These flags can be combined using OR . |
filter | The NodeFilter to be used with this
TreeWalker , or null to indicate no filter. |
entityReferenceExpansion | If this flag is false, the contents of
EntityReference nodes are not presented in the logical
view. |
TreeWalker
.DOMException | NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the specified root is
null .
