Interface DOMSerializerFilter

All Superinterfaces:

NodeFilter

public interface DOMSerializerFilter

extends NodeFilter

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

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

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

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

Method Detail

getWhatToShow

public int getWhatToShow()

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