DOMImplementationLS

public interface DOMImplementationLS

DOMImplementationLS contains the factory methods for creating Load and Save objects.

The expectation is that an instance of the DOMImplementationLS interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the DOMImplementation interface or, if the Document supports the feature "Core" version "3.0" defined in [DOM Level 3 Core] , by using the method DOMImplementation.getFeature with parameter values "LS" (or "LS-Async") and "3.0" (respectively).

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

Constant Summary

short MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS Create an asynchronous LSParser.
short MODE_SYNCHRONOUS Create a synchronous LSParser.

Public Method Summary

abstract LSInput
createLSInput()
Create a new empty input source object where LSInput.characterStream, LSInput.byteStream , LSInput.stringData LSInput.systemId, LSInput.publicId, LSInput.baseURI, and LSInput.encoding are null, and LSInput.certifiedText is false.
abstract LSOutput
createLSOutput()
Create a new empty output destination object where LSOutput.characterStream, LSOutput.byteStream, LSOutput.systemId, LSOutput.encoding are null.
abstract LSParser
createLSParser(short mode, String schemaType)
Create a new LSParser.
abstract LSSerializer
createLSSerializer()
Create a new LSSerializer object.

Public Methods

public abstract LSInput createLSInput ()

Create a new empty input source object where LSInput.characterStream, LSInput.byteStream , LSInput.stringData LSInput.systemId, LSInput.publicId, LSInput.baseURI, and LSInput.encoding are null, and LSInput.certifiedText is false.

Returns
  • The newly created input object.

public abstract LSOutput createLSOutput ()

Create a new empty output destination object where LSOutput.characterStream, LSOutput.byteStream, LSOutput.systemId, LSOutput.encoding are null.

Returns
  • The newly created output object.

public abstract LSParser createLSParser (short mode, String schemaType)

Create a new LSParser. The newly constructed parser may then be configured by means of its DOMConfiguration object, and used to parse documents by means of its parse method.

Parameters
mode The mode argument is either MODE_SYNCHRONOUS or MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS, if mode is MODE_SYNCHRONOUS then the LSParser that is created will operate in synchronous mode, if it's MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS then the LSParser that is created will operate in asynchronous mode.
schemaType An absolute URI representing the type of the schema language used during the load of a Document using the newly created LSParser. Note that no lexical checking is done on the absolute URI. In order to create a LSParser for any kind of schema types (i.e. the LSParser will be free to use any schema found), use the value null.

Note: For W3C XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". For XML DTD [XML 1.0], applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml". Other Schema languages are outside the scope of the W3C and therefore should recommend an absolute URI in order to use this method.
Returns
  • The newly created LSParser object. This LSParser is either synchronous or asynchronous depending on the value of the mode argument.

    Note: By default, the newly created LSParser does not contain a DOMErrorHandler, i.e. the value of the " error-handler" configuration parameter is null. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter on the new LSParser object contains a reference to the default error handler.

Throws
DOMException NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the requested mode or schema type is not supported.

public abstract LSSerializer createLSSerializer ()

Create a new LSSerializer object.

Returns
  • The newly created LSSerializer object.

    Note: By default, the newly created LSSerializer has no DOMErrorHandler, i.e. the value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter is null. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter on the new LSSerializer object contains a reference to the default error handler.
