Detailed Description

Filters are objects that know how to "filter out" nodes.

If a DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker is given a DOMNodeFilter, it applies the filter before it returns the next node. If the filter says to accept the node, the traversal logic returns it; otherwise, traversal looks for the next node and pretends that the node that was rejected was not there.

The DOM does not provide any filters. DOMNodeFilter is just an interface that users can implement to provide their own filters.

DOMNodeFilters do not need to know how to traverse from node to node, nor do they need to know anything about the data structure that is being traversed. This makes it very easy to write filters, since the only thing they have to know how to do is evaluate a single node. One filter may be used with a number of different kinds of traversals, encouraging code reuse.

Constants returned by acceptNode.

FILTER_ACCEPT: Accept the node. Navigation methods defined for DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker will return this node.

FILTER_REJECT: Reject the node. Navigation methods defined for DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker will not return this node. For DOMTreeWalker, the children of this node will also be rejected. DOMNodeIterators treat this as a synonym for FILTER_SKIP.

FILTER_SKIP: Skip this single node. Navigation methods defined for DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker will not return this node. For both DOMNodeIterator and DOMTreeWalker, the children of this node will still be considered.

◆ ShowTypeMasks

Constants for whatToShow.

SHOW_ALL: Show all DOMNode(s).

SHOW_ELEMENT: Show DOMElement nodes.

SHOW_ATTRIBUTE: Show DOMAttr nodes. This is meaningful only when creating an DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker with an attribute node as its root; in this case, it means that the attribute node will appear in the first position of the iteration or traversal. Since attributes are never children of other nodes, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.

SHOW_TEXT: Show DOMText nodes.

SHOW_CDATA_SECTION: Show DOMCDATASection nodes.

SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCE: Show DOMEntityReference nodes.

SHOW_ENTITY: Show DOMEntity nodes. This is meaningful only when creating an DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker with an DOMEntity node as its root; in this case, it means that the DOMEntity node will appear in the first position of the traversal. Since entities are not part of the document tree, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.

SHOW_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION: Show DOMProcessingInstruction nodes.

SHOW_COMMENT: Show DOMComment nodes.

SHOW_DOCUMENT: Show DOMDocument nodes.

SHOW_DOCUMENT_TYPE: Show DOMDocumentType nodes.

SHOW_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT: Show DOMDocumentFragment nodes.

SHOW_NOTATION: Show DOMNotation nodes. This is meaningful only when creating an DOMNodeIterator or DOMTreeWalker with a DOMNotation node as its root; in this case, it means that the DOMNotation node will appear in the first position of the traversal. Since notations are not part of the document tree, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.

Member Function Documentation

◆ acceptNode()

virtual FilterAction DOMNodeFilter::acceptNode ( const DOMNode * node) const
pure virtual

Test whether a specified node is visible in the logical view of a DOMTreeWalker or DOMNodeIterator.

This function will be called by the implementation of DOMTreeWalker and DOMNodeIterator; it is not normally called directly from user code. (Though you could do so if you wanted to use the same filter to guide your own application logic.)

Parameters
nodeThe node to check to see if it passes the filter or not.
Returns
A constant to determine whether the node is accepted, rejected, or skipped, as defined above.
