XML::DOM::NamedNodeMap
XML::DOM::NamedNodeMap
NAMEDESCRIPTION
NAME
XML::DOM::NamedNodeMap − A hash table interface for XML::DOM
DESCRIPTION
Objects implementing the NamedNodeMap interface are used to represent collections of nodes that can be accessed by name. Note that NamedNodeMap does not inherit from NodeList; NamedNodeMaps are not maintained in any particular order. Objects contained in an object implementing NamedNodeMap may also be accessed by an ordinal index, but this is simply to allow convenient enumeration of the contents of a NamedNodeMap, and does not imply that the DOM specifies an order to these Nodes.
Note that in this implementation, the objects added to a NamedNodeMap are kept in order.
METHODS
getNamedItem (name)
Retrieves a node specified by name.
Return Value: A Node (of any type) with the specified name, or undef if the specified name did not identify any node in the map.
setNamedItem (arg)
Adds a node using its nodeName attribute.
As the nodeName attribute is used to derive the name which the node must be stored under, multiple nodes of certain types (those that have a "special" string value) cannot be stored as the names would clash. This is seen as preferable to allowing nodes to be aliased.
Parameters:
arg A node to store in a named node map.
The node will later be accessible using the value of the nodeName attribute of the node. If a node with that name is already present in the map, it is replaced by the new one.
Return Value: If the new Node replaces an existing node with the same name the previously existing Node is returned, otherwise undef is returned.
DOMExceptions:
|
• |
WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR |
Raised if arg was created from a different document than the one that created the NamedNodeMap.
|
• |
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR |
Raised if this NamedNodeMap is readonly.
|
• |
INUSE_ATTRIBUTE_ERR |
Raised if arg is an Attr that is already an attribute of another Element object. The DOM user must explicitly clone Attr nodes to re-use them in other elements.
removeNamedItem (name)
Removes a node specified by name. If the removed node is an Attr with a default value it is immediately replaced.
Return Value: The node removed from the map or undef if no node with such a name exists.
DOMException:
|
• |
NOT_FOUND_ERR |
Raised if there is no node named name in the map.
item (index)
Returns the indexth item in the map. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the map, this returns undef.
Return Value: The node at the indexth position in the NamedNodeMap, or undef if that is not a valid index.
getLength
Returns the number of nodes in the map. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to length−1 inclusive.
Additional
methods not in the DOM Spec
getValues
Returns a NodeList with the nodes contained in the NamedNodeMap. The NodeList is "live", in that it reflects changes made to the NamedNodeMap.
When this method is called in a list context, it returns a regular perl list containing the values. Note that this list is not "live". E.g.
@list = $map−>getValues; # returns a perl list
$nodelist = $map−>getValues; # returns a NodeList (object ref.)
for my $val ($map−>getValues) # iterate over the values
getChildIndex (node)
Returns the index of the node in the NodeList as returned by getValues, or −1 if the node is not in the NamedNodeMap.
dispose
Removes all circular references in this NamedNodeMap and its descendants so the objects can be claimed for garbage collection. The objects should not be used afterwards.
Opportunity
Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.
Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.
Free Software
Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.
Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.
Free Books
The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.
Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.
Education
Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.
Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
