Detailed Description¶

The PySide.QtXml.QDomNode class is the base class for all the nodes in a DOM tree.

Many functions in the DOM return a PySide.QtXml.QDomNode .

You can find out the type of a node using PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isAttr() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isCDATASection() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isDocumentFragment() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isDocument() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isDocumentType() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isElement() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isEntityReference() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isText() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isEntity() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isNotation() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isProcessingInstruction() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isCharacterData() and PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isComment() .

A PySide.QtXml.QDomNode can be converted into one of its subclasses using PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toAttr() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toCDATASection() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toDocumentFragment() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toDocument() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toDocumentType() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toElement() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toEntityReference() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toText() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toEntity() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toNotation() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toProcessingInstruction() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toCharacterData() or PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.toComment() . You can convert a node to a null node with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.clear() .

Copies of the PySide.QtXml.QDomNode class share their data using explicit sharing. This means that modifying one node will change all copies. This is especially useful in combination with functions which return a PySide.QtXml.QDomNode , e.g. PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.firstChild() . You can make an independent (deep) copy of the node with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.cloneNode() .

A PySide.QtXml.QDomNode can be null, much like a null pointer. Creating a copy of a null node results in another null node. It is not possible to modify a null node, but it is possible to assign another, possibly non-null node to it. In this case, the copy of the null node will remain null. You can check if a PySide.QtXml.QDomNode is null by calling PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isNull() . The empty constructor of a PySide.QtXml.QDomNode (or any of the derived classes) creates a null node.

Nodes are inserted with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.insertBefore() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.insertAfter() or PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.appendChild() . You can replace one node with another using PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.replaceChild() and remove a node with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.removeChild() .

To traverse nodes use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.firstChild() to get a node’s first child (if any), and PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nextSibling() to traverse. PySide.QtXml.QDomNode also provides PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.lastChild() , PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.previousSibling() and PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.parentNode() . To find the first child node with a particular node name use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.namedItem() .

To find out if a node has children use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.hasChildNodes() and to get a list of all of a node’s children use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.childNodes() .

The node’s name and value (the meaning of which varies depending on its type) is returned by PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeName() and PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeValue() respectively. The node’s type is returned by PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeType() . The node’s value can be set with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.setNodeValue() .

The document to which the node belongs is returned by PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.ownerDocument() .

Adjacent PySide.QtXml.QDomText nodes can be merged into a single node with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.normalize() .

PySide.QtXml.QDomElement nodes have attributes which can be retrieved with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.attributes() .

PySide.QtXml.QDomElement and PySide.QtXml.QDomAttr nodes can have namespaces which can be retrieved with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.namespaceURI() . Their local name is retrieved with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.localName() , and their prefix with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.prefix() . The prefix can be set with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.setPrefix() .

You can write the XML representation of the node to a text stream with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.save() .

The following example looks for the first element in an XML document and prints the names of all the elements that are its direct children.
d = QDomDocument()
d.setContent(someXML)
n = d.firstChild()
while !n.isNull():
    if n.isElement():
        e = n.toElement()
        print "Element name: %s" % e.tagName()
        break
    n = n.nextSibling()
For further information about the Document Object Model see Level 1 and Level 2 Core. For a more general introduction of the DOM implementation see the PySide.QtXml.QDomDocument documentation.

class PySide.QtXml.QDomNode¶

class PySide.QtXml.QDomNode(arg__1)

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Constructs a null node.

Constructs a copy of n .

The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy, use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.cloneNode() .

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.NodeType¶

This enum defines the type of the node:

Constant	Description
QDomNode.ElementNode
QDomNode.AttributeNode
QDomNode.TextNode
QDomNode.CDATASectionNode
QDomNode.EntityReferenceNode
QDomNode.EntityNode
QDomNode.ProcessingInstructionNode
QDomNode.CommentNode
QDomNode.DocumentNode
QDomNode.DocumentTypeNode
QDomNode.DocumentFragmentNode
QDomNode.NotationNode
QDomNode.BaseNode	A `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode` object, i.e. not a `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode` subclass.
QDomNode.CharacterDataNode

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.EncodingPolicy¶

This enum specifies how QDomNode.save() determines what encoding to use when serializing.

Constant	Description
QDomNode.EncodingFromDocument	The encoding is fetched from the document.
QDomNode.EncodingFromTextStream	The encoding is fetched from the `PySide.QtCore.QTextStream` .

See also the overload of the PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.save() function that takes an QDomNode.EncodingPolicy .

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.appendChild(newChild)¶

Parameters:	newChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Appends newChild as the node’s last child.

If newChild is the child of another node, it is reparented to this node. If newChild is a child of this node, then its position in the list of children is changed.

If newChild is a PySide.QtXml.QDomDocumentFragment , then the children of the fragment are removed from the fragment and appended.

If newChild is a PySide.QtXml.QDomElement and this node is a PySide.QtXml.QDomDocument that already has an element node as a child, newChild is not added as a child and a null node is returned.

Returns a new reference to newChild on success or a null node on failure.

Calling this function on a null node(created, for example, with the default constructor) does nothing and returns a null node .

The DOM specification disallow inserting attribute nodes, but for historical reasons, QDom accepts them anyway.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.attributes()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNamedNodeMap`

Returns a named node map of all attributes. Attributes are only provided for PySide.QtXml.QDomElement s.

Changing the attributes in the map will also change the attributes of this PySide.QtXml.QDomNode .

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.childNodes()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNodeList`

Returns a list of all direct child nodes.

Most often you will call this function on a PySide.QtXml.QDomElement object.

For example, if the XML document looks like this:

<body>
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Hello <b>you</b></p>
</body>

Then the list of child nodes for the “body”-element will contain the node created by the <h1> tag and the node created by the <p> tag.

The nodes in the list are not copied; so changing the nodes in the list will also change the children of this node.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.clear()¶: Converts the node into a null node; if it was not a null node before, its type and contents are deleted.

See also

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isNull()

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.cloneNode([deep=true])¶

Parameters:	deep – `PySide.QtCore.bool`
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Creates a deep (not shallow) copy of the PySide.QtXml.QDomNode .

If deep is true, then the cloning is done recursively which means that all the node’s children are deep copied too. If deep is false only the node itself is copied and the copy will have no child nodes.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.columnNumber()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.int`

For nodes created by QDomDocument.setContent() , this function returns the column number in the XML document where the node was parsed. Otherwise, -1 is returned.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.firstChild()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Returns the first child of the node. If there is no child node, a null node is returned. Changing the returned node will also change the node in the document tree.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.firstChildElement([tagName=""])¶

Parameters:	tagName – unicode
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomElement`

Returns the first child element with tag name tagName if tagName is non-empty; otherwise returns the first child element. Returns a null element if no such child exists.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.hasAttributes()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.bool`

Returns true if the node has attributes; otherwise returns false.

See also

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.attributes()

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.hasChildNodes()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.bool`

Returns true if the node has one or more children; otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.insertAfter(newChild, refChild)¶

Parameters:	newChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode` refChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Inserts the node newChild after the child node refChild . refChild must be a direct child of this node. If refChild is null then newChild is appended as this node’s last child.

If newChild is the child of another node, it is reparented to this node. If newChild is a child of this node, then its position in the list of children is changed.

If newChild is a PySide.QtXml.QDomDocumentFragment , then the children of the fragment are removed from the fragment and inserted after refChild .

Returns a new reference to newChild on success or a null node on failure.

The DOM specification disallow inserting attribute nodes, but due to historical reasons QDom accept them nevertheless.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.insertBefore(newChild, refChild)¶

Parameters:	newChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode` refChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Inserts the node newChild before the child node refChild . refChild must be a direct child of this node. If refChild is null then newChild is inserted as the node’s first child.

If newChild is the child of another node, it is reparented to this node. If newChild is a child of this node, then its position in the list of children is changed.

If newChild is a PySide.QtXml.QDomDocumentFragment , then the children of the fragment are removed from the fragment and inserted before refChild .

Returns a new reference to newChild on success or a null node on failure.

The DOM specification disallow inserting attribute nodes, but due to historical reasons QDom accept them nevertheless.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isAttr()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.bool`

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nextSiblingElement([taName=""])¶

Parameters:	taName – unicode
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomElement`

Returns the next sibling element with tag name tagName if tagName is non-empty; otherwise returns any next sibling element. Returns a null element if no such sibling exists.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeName()¶

Return type:	unicode

Returns the name of the node.

The meaning of the name depends on the subclass:

Name	Meaning
`PySide.QtXml.QDomAttr`	The name of the attribute
`PySide.QtXml.QDomCDATASection`	The string “#cdata-section”
`PySide.QtXml.QDomComment`	The string “#comment”
`PySide.QtXml.QDomDocument`	The string “#document”
`PySide.QtXml.QDomDocumentFragment`	The string “#document-fragment”
`PySide.QtXml.QDomDocumentType`	The name of the document type
`PySide.QtXml.QDomElement`	The tag name

`PySide.QtXml.QDomNotation`	The name of the notation
`PySide.QtXml.QDomProcessingInstruction`	The target of the processing instruction
`PySide.QtXml.QDomText`	The string “#text”

Note

This function does not take the presence of namespaces into account when processing the names of element and attribute nodes. As a result, the returned name can contain any namespace prefix that may be present. To obtain the node name of an element or attribute, use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.localName() ; to obtain the namespace prefix, use PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.namespaceURI() .

See also

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeValue()

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeType()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.NodeType`

Returns the type of the node.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nodeValue()¶

Return type:	unicode

Returns the value of the node.

The meaning of the value depends on the subclass:

Name	Meaning
`PySide.QtXml.QDomAttr`	The attribute value
`PySide.QtXml.QDomCDATASection`	The content of the CDATA section
`PySide.QtXml.QDomComment`	The comment
`PySide.QtXml.QDomProcessingInstruction`	The data of the processing instruction
`PySide.QtXml.QDomText`	The text

All the other subclasses do not have a node value and will return an empty string.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.normalize()¶: Calling PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.normalize() on an element converts all its children into a standard form. This means that adjacent PySide.QtXml.QDomText objects will be merged into a single text object ( PySide.QtXml.QDomCDATASection nodes are not merged).

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.__ne__(arg__1)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.bool`

Returns true if n and this DOM node are not equal; otherwise returns false.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.__eq__(arg__1)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtCore.bool`

Returns true if n and this DOM node are equal; otherwise returns false.

Any instance of PySide.QtXml.QDomNode acts as a reference to an underlying data structure in PySide.QtXml.QDomDocument . The test for equality checks if the two references point to the same underlying node. For example:

QDomDocument document
QDomElement element1 = document.documentElement()
QDomElement element2 = element1

The two nodes ( PySide.QtXml.QDomElement is a PySide.QtXml.QDomNode subclass) both refer to the document’s root element, and element1 == element2 will return true. On the other hand:

QDomElement element3 = document.createElement("MyElement")
QDomElement element4 = document.createElement("MyElement")

Even though both nodes are empty elements carrying the same name, element3 == element4 will return false because they refer to two different nodes in the underlying data structure.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.ownerDocument()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomDocument`

Returns the document to which this node belongs.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.parentNode()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Returns the parent node. If this node has no parent, a null node is returned (i.e. a node for which PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.isNull() returns true).

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.prefix()¶

Return type:	unicode

Returns the namespace prefix of the node or an empty string if the node has no namespace prefix.

Only nodes of type ElementNode or AttributeNode can have namespaces. A namespace prefix must be specified at creation time. If a node was created with a namespace prefix, you can change it later with PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.setPrefix() .

If you create an element or attribute with QDomDocument.createElement() or QDomDocument.createAttribute() , the prefix will be an empty string. If you use QDomDocument.createElementNS() or QDomDocument.createAttributeNS() instead, the prefix will not be an empty string; but it might be an empty string if the name does not have a prefix.

QDomDocument.createElementNS() QDomDocument.createAttributeNS()

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.previousSibling()¶

Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Returns the previous sibling in the document tree. Changing the returned node will also change the node in the document tree.

For example, if you have XML like this:

<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>The text...</p>
<h2>Next heading</h2>

and this PySide.QtXml.QDomNode represents the <p> tag, PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.previousSibling() will return the node representing the <h1> tag.

See also

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.nextSibling()

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.previousSiblingElement([tagName=""])¶

Parameters:	tagName – unicode
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomElement`

Returns the previous sibilng element with tag name tagName if tagName is non-empty; otherwise returns any previous sibling element. Returns a null element if no such sibling exists.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.removeChild(oldChild)¶

Parameters:	oldChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Removes oldChild from the list of children. oldChild must be a direct child of this node.

Returns a new reference to oldChild on success or a null node on failure.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.replaceChild(newChild, oldChild)¶

Parameters:	newChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode` oldChild – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`
Return type:	`PySide.QtXml.QDomNode`

Replaces oldChild with newChild . oldChild must be a direct child of this node.

If newChild is the child of another node, it is reparented to this node. If newChild is a child of this node, then its position in the list of children is changed.

If newChild is a PySide.QtXml.QDomDocumentFragment , then oldChild is replaced by all of the children of the fragment.

Returns a new reference to oldChild on success or a null node an failure.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.save(arg__1, arg__2, arg__3)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtCore.QTextStream` arg__2 – `PySide.QtCore.int` arg__3 – `PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.EncodingPolicy`

If encodingPolicy is QDomNode.EncodingFromDocument , this function behaves as save( PySide.QtCore.QTextStream &str, int indent).

If encodingPolicy is EncodingFromTextStream and this node is a document node, this function behaves as save( PySide.QtCore.QTextStream &str, int indent) with the exception that the encoding specified in the text stream str is used.

If the document contains invalid XML characters or characters that cannot be encoded in the given encoding, the result and behavior is undefined.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.save(arg__1, arg__2)

Parameters:	arg__1 – `PySide.QtCore.QTextStream` arg__2 – `PySide.QtCore.int`

Writes the XML representation of the node and all its children to the stream str . This function uses indent as the amount of space to indent the node.

If this node is a document node, the encoding of text stream str ‘s encoding is set by treating a processing instruction by name “xml” as an XML declaration, if such a one exists, and otherwise defaults to UTF-8. XML declarations are not processing instructions, but this behavior exists for historical reasons. If this node is not a document node, the text stream’s encoding is used.

If the document contains invalid XML characters or characters that cannot be encoded in the given encoding, the result and behavior is undefined.

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.setNodeValue(arg__1)¶

Parameters:	arg__1 – unicode

Sets the node’s value to v .

PySide.QtXml.QDomNode.setPrefix(pre)¶

Parameters:	pre – unicode

If the node has a namespace prefix, this function changes the namespace prefix of the node to pre . Otherwise this function does nothing.

Only nodes of type ElementNode or AttributeNode can have namespaces. A namespace prefix must have be specified at creation time; it is not possible to add a namespace prefix afterwards.
