Method Details

isQName
Validate whether a given string constitutes a valid QName, as defined in XML Namespaces. Note that this does not test whether the prefix is actually declared.- Parameters:
name
- the name to be tested- Returns:
- true if the name is a lexically-valid QName
-
getPrefix
Extract the prefix from a QName. Note, the QName is assumed to be valid.- Parameters:
qname
- The lexical QName whose prefix is required- Returns:
- the prefix, that is the part before the colon. Returns an empty string if there is no prefix
-
getQNameParts
Validate a QName, and return the prefix and local name. The local name is checked to ensure it is a valid NCName. The prefix is not checked, on the theory that the caller will look up the prefix to find a URI, and if the prefix is invalid, then no URI will be found.- Parameters:
qname
- the lexical QName whose parts are required. Note that leading and trailing whitespace is not permitted- Returns:
- an array of two strings, the prefix and the local name. The first item is a zero-length string if there is no prefix.
- Throws:
QNameException
- if not a valid QName.
-
checkQNameParts
Validate a QName, and return the prefix and local name. Both parts are checked to ensure they are valid NCNames.Used from compiled code
- Parameters:
qname
- the lexical QName whose parts are required. Note that leading and trailing whitespace is not permitted- Returns:
- an array of two strings, the prefix and the local name. The first item is a zero-length string if there is no prefix.
- Throws:
XPathException
- if not a valid QName.
-
isValidNCName
Validate whether a given string constitutes a valid NCName, as defined in XML Namespaces.- Parameters:
ncName
- the name to be tested- Returns:
- true if the name is a lexically-valid QName
-
isValidNmtoken
Check to see if a string is a valid Nmtoken according to [7] in the XML 1.0 Recommendation- Parameters:
nmtoken
- string to check- Returns:
- true if nmtoken is a valid Nmtoken
-
isValidChar
public abstract boolean isValidChar(int ch) Test whether a character is a valid XML character- Parameters:
ch
- the character to be tested- Returns:
- true if this is a valid character in the selected version of XML
-
isNCNameChar
public abstract boolean isNCNameChar(int ch) Test whether a character can appear in an NCName- Parameters:
ch
- the character to be tested- Returns:
- true if this is a valid character in an NCName the selected version of XML
-
isNCNameStartChar
public abstract boolean isNCNameStartChar(int ch) Test whether a character can appear at the start of an NCName- Parameters:
ch
- the character to be tested- Returns:
- true if this is a valid character at the start of an NCName the selected version of XML
-
getXMLVersion
Return the XML version supported by this NameChecker- Returns:
- "1.0" or "1.1" as a string
