      • Text

        public Text​(org.w3c.dom.Node node)
        Constructor for the Text object. This creates an event that provides text to the core reader. Text can be in the form of a CDATA section or a normal text entry.

    • Method Detail

      • isText

        public boolean isText()
        This is true as this event represents a text token. Text tokens are required to provide a value only. So namespace details and the node name will always return null.
        Specified by:
        isText in interface EventNode
        Overrides:
        isText in class EventToken
        Returns:
        this returns true as this event represents text
      • getValue

        public java.lang.String getValue()
        This returns the value of the event. This will return the text value contained within the node. If there is no text within the node this should return an empty string.
        Specified by:
        getValue in interface EventNode
        Overrides:
        getValue in class EventToken
        Returns:
        this returns the value represented by this event
      • getSource

        public java.lang.Object getSource()
        This is used to return the node for the event. Because this represents a DOM text value the DOM node will be returned. Returning the node helps with certain debugging issues.
        Specified by:
        getSource in interface EventNode
        Overrides:
        getSource in class EventToken
        Returns:
