Detailed documentation

`asCdata()`

Casts the node as a CDATASection node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already CDATA, this method returns null.

Return

Cdata — the CDATASection node

`asComment()`

Casts the node as a Comment node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already COMMENT, this method returns null.

Return

Comment — the Comment node, or null if the node's content type is not COMMENT

`asDocType()`

Casts the node as a DocumentType node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already DOCTYPE, this method returns null.

Return

DocType — the DocumentType node

`asElement()`

Casts the node as an Element node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already ELEMENT, this method returns null.

Return

Element — the Element node

`asEntityRef()`

Casts the node as a EntityReference node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already ENTITYREF, this method returns null.

Return

EntityRef — the EntityReference node

`asProcessingInstruction()`

Casts the node as a ProcessingInstruction node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already PROCESSINGINSTRUCTION, this method returns null.

Return

ProcessingInstruction — the ProcessingInstruction node

`asText()`

Casts the node as a Text node for the purposes of autocomplete. If the node's ContentType is not already TEXT, this method returns null.

Return

Text — the Text node

`detach()`

Detaches the node from its parent Element node. If the node does not have a parent, this method has no effect.

Return

Content — the detached node

`getParentElement()`

Gets the node's parent Element node. If the node does not have a parent, this method returns null.

Return

Element — the parent Element node

`getType()`

Gets the node's content type.

Return

ContentType — the node's content type

`getValue()`

Gets the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node, in the order they appear in the document.

Return

String — the text value of all nodes that are direct or indirect children of the node
