Class OutputNodeMap

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Cloneable, Iterable<String>, Map<String,OutputNode>, SequencedMap<String,OutputNode>, NodeMap<OutputNode>

class OutputNodeMap extends LinkedHashMap<String,OutputNode> implements NodeMap<OutputNode>
The OutputNodeMap is used to collect attribute nodes for an output node. This will create a generic node to add to the map. The nodes created will be used by the output node to write attributes for an element.
  • Field Details

    • source

      private final OutputNode source
      This is the source node that this node map belongs to.
  • Constructor Details

    • OutputNodeMap

      public OutputNodeMap(OutputNode source)
      Constructor for the OutputNodeMap object. This is used to create a node map that is used to create and collect nodes, which will be used as attributes for an output element.
  • Method Details

    • getNode

      public OutputNode getNode()
      This is used to acquire the actual node this map represents. The source node provides further details on the context of the node, such as the parent name, the namespace, and even the value in the node. Care should be taken when using this.
      Specified by:
      getNode in interface NodeMap<OutputNode>
      Returns:
      this returns the node that this map represents
    • getName

      public String getName()
      This is used to get the name of the element that owns the nodes for the specified map. This can be used to determine which element the node map belongs to.
      Specified by:
      getName in interface NodeMap<OutputNode>
      Returns:
      this returns the name of the owning element
    • put

      public OutputNode put(String name, String value)
      This is used to add a new Node to the map. The node that is created is a simple name value pair. Once the node is created it can be retrieved by its given name.
      Specified by:
      put in interface NodeMap<OutputNode>
      Parameters:
      name - this is the name of the node to be created
      value - this is the value to be given to the node
      Returns:
      this is the node that has been added to the map
    • remove

      public OutputNode remove(String name)
      This is used to remove the Node mapped to the given name. This returns a name value pair that represents an attribute. If no node is mapped to the specified name then this method will a return null value.
      Specified by:
      remove in interface NodeMap<OutputNode>
      Parameters:
      name - this is the name of the node to remove
      Returns:
      this will return the node mapped to the given name
    • get

      public OutputNode get(String name)
      This is used to acquire the Node mapped to the given name. This returns a name value pair that represents an element. If no node is mapped to the specified name then this method will return a null value.
      Specified by:
      get in interface NodeMap<OutputNode>
      Parameters:
      name - this is the name of the node to retrieve
      Returns:
      this will return the node mapped to the given name
    • iterator

      public Iterator<String> iterator()
      This returns an iterator for the names of all the nodes in this OutputNodeMap. This allows the names to be iterated within a for each loop in order to extract nodes.
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Iterable<String>
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface NodeMap<OutputNode>
      Returns:
      this returns the names of the nodes in the map
