Content:

Classes:

• Attributes - Holds attributes in current node, using attribute's name as key and it's value as value. Appends namespace prefix to attribute's name as key if is a namespaced attribute.

Properties:

• public DomNamedNodeMap attributes { owned get; }
• public int child_element_count { get; }
• public DomHTMLCollection children { owned get; }
• public DomTokenList class_list { owned get; }
  A list of values of all attributes called 'class'.
• public string? class_name { owned get; set; }
  An attribute called 'class'.
• public DomElement? first_element_child { owned get; }
• public string? id { owned get; set; }
  An attribute called 'id'.
• public DomElement? last_element_child { owned get; }
• public string local_name { owned get; }
  Derived classes should define it at construction time, using GXml.Node._local_name field. This is the node's name.
• public string? namespace_uri { owned get; }
• public DomElement? next_element_sibling { owned get; }
• public bool parse_children { get; set; }
  If true all children are parsed. If false, all its children are stored as plain string in unparsed. In order to generate an XML tree use read_unparsed.
• public string? prefix { owned get; }
• public DomElement? previous_element_sibling { owned get; }
• public MemoryOutputStream read_buffer { get; set; }
  On memory GLib.MemoryOutputStream with the unparsed string of the element
• public string tag_name { owned get; }
• public string unparsed { get; set; }
  Temporally stores, all unparsed children as plain string. See parse_children.

Creation methods:

• public Element ()

Methods:

• public InputStream create_stream () throws Error
  Creates an GLib.InputStream to write a string representation in XML of GXml.Element using node's GXml.Document
• public async InputStream create_stream_async (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Creates an GLib.InputStream to write a string representation in XML of GXml.Element using node's GXml.Document
• public string? get_attribute (string name)
• public string? get_attribute_ns (string? namespace_uri, string local_name)
• public DomHTMLCollection get_elements_by_class_name (string class_names)
• public DomHTMLCollection get_elements_by_tag_name (string local_name)
• public DomHTMLCollection get_elements_by_tag_name_ns (string? @namespace, string local_name)
• public bool has_attribute (string name)
• public bool has_attribute_ns (string? namespace_uri, string local_name)
• public void initialize (string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name. If GXml.Element.initialize_with_namespace has been called in any base class, this method just change element node's name and keeps previous namespace and prefix.
• public void initialize_document (DomDocument doc, string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name and document.
• public void initialize_document_with_namespace (DomDocument doc, string? namespace_uri, string? prefix, string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name, document and namespace.
• public void initialize_with_namespace (string? namespace_uri, string? prefix, string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name and namespace.
• public string? lookup_namespace_uri (string? prefix)
• public string? lookup_prefix (string? nspace)
• public void parse_buffer () throws Error
  Synchronically parse read_buffer
• public async void parse_buffer_async () throws Error
  Asynchronically parse read_buffer
• public uint parse_pending ()
  Monitor multi-threading parsing
• public DomNodeList query_selector_all (string selectors) throws Error
• public void read_from_file (File f, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Parses an XML file, deserializing it over GXml.Element.
• public async void read_from_file_async (File f, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Parses asynchronically an XML file, deserializing it over GXml.Element.
• public void read_from_stream (InputStream istream, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Parses an XML over a GLib.InputStream , deserializing it over GXml.Element.
• public async void read_from_stream_async (InputStream istream, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Parses asynchronically an XML over a GLib.InputStream, deserializing it over GXml.Element.
• public void read_from_string (string str, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Parses an XML string, deserializing it over GXml.Element.
• public async void read_from_string_async (string str, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Parses an XML string, deserializing it over GXml.Element.
• public void read_unparsed () throws Error
  Parse all children, adding them to current node, stored in unparsed. Once it finish, sets unparsed to null.
• public void remove ()
• public void remove_attribute (string name)
• public void remove_attribute_ns (string? namespace_uri, string local_name)
• public void set_attribute (string name, string value) throws Error
• public void set_attribute_ns (string? namespace_uri, string name, string value) throws Error
• public void write_file (File f, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Uses element's GXml.Document to write an XML to a file, serializing it.
• public async void write_file_async (File f, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Uses element's GXml.Document to write asynchronically an XML to a file, serializing it.
• public void write_stream (OutputStream stream) throws Error
  Uses element's GXml.Document to write an XML to a stream, serializing it.
• public async void write_stream_async (OutputStream stream, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Uses element's GXml.Document to write an XML to a stream, serializing it.
• public string write_string (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Serialize GXml.Element to a string.
• public async string write_string_async (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Serialize asynchronically GXml.Element to a string.

Fields:

• protected Attributes _attributes
  Reference to Attributes for element's attributes. Derived classes should avoid to modify it.
• protected string _namespace_uri
  Use this field to set node's namespace URI. Can used to set it at construction time.
