Detailed Description

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

If a DOM_NodeIterator or DOM_TreeWalker is given a filter, it applies the filter before it returns the next node.

If the filter says to accept the node, the iterator returns it; otherwise, the iterator looks for the next node and pretends that the node that was rejected was not there.

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

Filters do not need to know how to iterate, nor do they need to know anything about the data structure that is being iterated. 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 iterators, encouraging code reuse.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DOM_NodeFilter::DOM_NodeFilter ( )
 

Default constructor for DOM_NodeFilter.

DOM_NodeFilter::~DOM_NodeFilter ( ) [virtual]
 

Destructor for DOM_NodeFilter.


Member Function Documentation

short DOM_NodeFilter::acceptNode ( const DOM_Node & node ) const [pure virtual]
 

Test whether a specified node is visible in the logical view of a DOM_TreeWalker or DOM_NodeIterator.

This function will be called by the implementation of DOM_TreeWalker and DOM_NodeIterator; it is not intended to be called directly from user code.

Parameters:
node   The 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.
