PIA / src / java / org / risource / dom

[..] [files]

This package, org.risource.dom, contains classes and interfaces that constitute a simplified API for programmers who wish to use the DPS as part of an application that also uses the World Wide Web Consortium's DOM (Document Object Model).

Annotated Contents

Classes

ToDocument
Output implementation that outputs to a DOM document tree.

See Also

org.w3c.dom
The DOM interfaces.
www.w3.org/DOM/
The official DOM web site.
org.risource.dps
A general-purpose document-processing system for XML, HTML, and SGML documents.
org.risource.dps.active
Interfaces that combine the DOM and ``Active'' interfaces. Classes that implement these interfaces can be efficiently traversed using cursors, and processed using the DPS.
org.risource.dps.tree
Classes that implement the DOM Core and Active interfaces, for use in building parse trees.

Note

Originally this package simply contained a complete implementation of an early draft of the DOM, and dps.active extended it. Now that the ``official'' interfaces are in org.w3c.dom we have taken the opportunity to correct the situation.

At the moment, ../dps/tree/ contains an implementation of the interfaces of DOM level 1, as extended in ../dps/active/. Much of the behavior, however, is considerably different from what the DOM specification requires, and at some point it can reasonably be expected that the PIA may abandon all pretense of being DOM-compatible in its internal representation.

This says nothing about the PIA's external interfaces. We remain absolutely committed to keeping the PIA as compatible as possible with published standards (although due to our limited resources, there will inevitably be a time lag -- for example, we are just now getting around to writing ToDocument after a year or so of neglect).
