public interface Document extends Node
TheDocument
interface represents the entire HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data. Since elements, text nodes, comments, processing instructions, etc. cannot exist outside the context of aDocument
, theDocument
interface also contains the factory methods needed to create these objects. TheNode
objects created have aownerDocument
attribute which associates them with theDocument
within whose context they were created. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Method Detail
getDoctype
DocumentType getDoctype()
The Document Type Declaration (seeDocumentType
) associated with this document. For XML documents without a document type declaration this returnsnull
. For HTML documents, aDocumentType
object may be returned, independently of the presence or absence of document type declaration in the HTML document.
This provides direct access to theDocumentType
node, child node of thisDocument
. This node can be set at document creation time and later changed through the use of child nodes manipulation methods, such asNode.insertBefore
, orNode.replaceChild
. Note, however, that while some implementations may instantiate different types ofDocument
objects supporting additional features than the "Core", such as "HTML" [DOM Level 2 HTML] , based on theDocumentType
specified at creation time, changing it afterwards is very unlikely to result in a change of the features supported.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getImplementation
DOMImplementation getImplementation()
TheDOMImplementation
object that handles this document. A DOM application may use objects from multiple implementations.
getDocumentElement
Element getDocumentElement()
This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access to the child node that is the document element of the document.
createElement
Element createElement(String tagName) throws DOMException
Creates an element of the type specified. Note that the instance returned implements theElement
interface, so attributes can be specified directly on the returned object.
In addition, if there are known attributes with default values,Attr
nodes representing them are automatically created and attached to the element.
To create an element with a qualified name and namespace URI, use thecreateElementNS
method.- Parameters:
tagName
- The name of the element type to instantiate. For XML, this is case-sensitive, otherwise it depends on the case-sensitivity of the markup language in use. In that case, the name is mapped to the canonical form of that markup by the DOM implementation.- Returns:
- A new
Element
object with thenodeName
attribute set totagName
, andlocalName
,prefix
, andnamespaceURI
set tonull
. - Throws:
DOMException
- INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersion
attribute.
createDocumentFragment
DocumentFragment createDocumentFragment()
Creates an emptyDocumentFragment
object.- Returns:
- A new
DocumentFragment
.
createTextNode
Text createTextNode(String data)
Creates aText
node given the specified string.- Parameters:
data
- The data for the node.- Returns:
- The new
Text
object.
createComment
Comment createComment(String data)
Creates aComment
node given the specified string.- Parameters:
data
- The data for the node.- Returns:
- The new
Comment
object.
createCDATASection
CDATASection createCDATASection(String data) throws DOMException
Creates aCDATASection
node whose value is the specified string.- Parameters:
data
- The data for theCDATASection
contents.- Returns:
- The new
CDATASection
object. - Throws:
DOMException
- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this document is an HTML document.
createProcessingInstruction
ProcessingInstruction createProcessingInstruction(String target, String data) throws DOMException
Creates aProcessingInstruction
node given the specified name and data strings.- Parameters:
target
- The target part of the processing instruction.UnlikeDocument.createElementNS
orDocument.createAttributeNS
, no namespace well-formed checking is done on the target name. Applications should invokeDocument.normalizeDocument()
with the parameter " namespaces" set totrue
in order to ensure that the target name is namespace well-formed.data
- The data for the node.- Returns:
- The new
ProcessingInstruction
object. - Throws:
DOMException
- INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified target is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersion
attribute.
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this document is an HTML document.
createAttribute
Attr createAttribute(String name) throws DOMException
Creates anAttr
of the given name. Note that theAttr
instance can then be set on anElement
using thesetAttributeNode
method.
To create an attribute with a qualified name and namespace URI, use thecreateAttributeNS
method.- Parameters:
name
- The name of the attribute.- Returns:
- A new
Attr
object with thenodeName
attribute set toname
, andlocalName
,prefix
, andnamespaceURI
set tonull
. The value of the attribute is the empty string. - Throws:
DOMException
- INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersion
attribute.
createEntityReference
EntityReference createEntityReference(String name) throws DOMException
Creates anEntityReference
object. In addition, if the referenced entity is known, the child list of theEntityReference
node is made the same as that of the correspondingEntity
node. Note: If any descendant of theEntity
node has an unbound namespace prefix, the corresponding descendant of the createdEntityReference
node is also unbound; (itsnamespaceURI
isnull
). The DOM Level 2 and 3 do not support any mechanism to resolve namespace prefixes in this case.- Parameters:
name
- The name of the entity to reference.UnlikeDocument.createElementNS
orDocument.createAttributeNS
, no namespace well-formed checking is done on the entity name. Applications should invokeDocument.normalizeDocument()
with the parameter " namespaces" set totrue
in order to ensure that the entity name is namespace well-formed.- Returns:
- The new
EntityReference
object. - Throws:
DOMException
- INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specified name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersion
attribute.
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this document is an HTML document.
getElementsByTagName
NodeList getElementsByTagName(String tagname)
Returns aNodeList
of all theElements
in document order with a given tag name and are contained in the document.- Parameters:
tagname
- The name of the tag to match on. The special value "*" matches all tags. For XML, thetagname
parameter is case-sensitive, otherwise it depends on the case-sensitivity of the markup language in use.- Returns:
- A new
NodeList
object containing all the matchedElements
.
importNode
Node importNode(Node importedNode, boolean deep) throws DOMException
Imports a node from another document to this document, without altering or removing the source node from the original document; this method creates a new copy of the source node. The returned node has no parent; (parentNode
isnull
).
For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the importing document, with attribute values identical to the source node'snodeName
andnodeType
, plus the attributes related to namespaces (prefix
,localName
, andnamespaceURI
). As in thecloneNode
operation, the source node is not altered. User data associated to the imported node is not carried over. However, if anyUserDataHandlers
has been specified along with the associated data these handlers will be called with the appropriate parameters before this method returns.
Additional information is copied as appropriate to thenodeType
, attempting to mirror the behavior expected if a fragment of XML or HTML source was copied from one document to another, recognizing that the two documents may have different DTDs in the XML case. The following list describes the specifics for each type of node.- ATTRIBUTE_NODE
- The
ownerElement
attribute is set tonull
and thespecified
flag is set totrue
on the generatedAttr
. The descendants of the sourceAttr
are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree. Note that thedeep
parameter has no effect onAttr
nodes; they always carry their children with them when imported. - DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
- If the
deep
option was set totrue
, the descendants of the sourceDocumentFragment
are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled under the importedDocumentFragment
to form the corresponding subtree. Otherwise, this simply generates an emptyDocumentFragment
. - DOCUMENT_NODE
Document
nodes cannot be imported.- DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE
DocumentType
nodes cannot be imported.- ELEMENT_NODE
- Specified attribute nodes of the source element are imported, and the generated
Attr
nodes are attached to the generatedElement
. Default attributes are not copied, though if the document being imported into defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. If theimportNode
deep
parameter was set totrue
, the descendants of the source element are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree. - ENTITY_NODE
Entity
nodes can be imported, however in the current release of the DOM theDocumentType
is readonly. Ability to add these imported nodes to aDocumentType
will be considered for addition to a future release of the DOM.On import, thepublicId
,systemId
, andnotationName
attributes are copied. If adeep
import is requested, the descendants of the the sourceEntity
are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.- ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE
- Only the
EntityReference
itself is copied, even if adeep
import is requested, since the source and destination documents might have defined the entity differently. If the document being imported into provides a definition for this entity name, its value is assigned. - NOTATION_NODE
Notation
nodes can be imported, however in the current release of the DOM theDocumentType
is readonly. Ability to add these imported nodes to aDocumentType
will be considered for addition to a future release of the DOM.On import, thepublicId
andsystemId
attributes are copied. Note that thedeep
parameter has no effect on this type of nodes since they cannot have any children.- PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE
- The imported node copies its
target
anddata
values from those of the source node.Note that thedeep
parameter has no effect on this type of nodes since they cannot have any children. - TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE
- These three types of nodes inheriting from
CharacterData
copy theirdata
andlength
attributes from those of the source node.Note that thedeep
parameter has no effect on these types of nodes since they cannot have any children.
- Parameters:
importedNode
- The node to import.deep
- Iftrue
, recursively import the subtree under the specified node; iffalse
, import only the node itself, as explained above. This has no effect on nodes that cannot have any children, and onAttr
, andEntityReference
nodes.- Returns:
- The imported node that belongs to this
Document
. - Throws:
DOMException
- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the type of node being imported is not supported.
INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if one of the imported names is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersion
attribute. This may happen when importing an XML 1.1 [XML 1.1] element into an XML 1.0 document, for instance.- Since:
- DOM Level 2
createElementNS
Element createElementNS(String namespaceURI, String qualifiedName) throws DOMException
Creates an element of the given qualified name and namespace URI.
Per [XML Namespaces] , applications must use the valuenull
as the namespaceURI parameter for methods if they wish to have no namespace.- Parameters:

DOMException
- INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: Raised if the specifiedqualifiedName
is not an XML name according to the XML version in use specified in theDocument.xmlVersion
attribute.
NAMESPACE_ERR: Raised if thequalifiedName
is a malformed qualified name, if thequalifiedName
has a prefix and thenamespaceURI
isnull
, or if thequalifiedName
has a prefix that is "xml" and thenamespaceURI
is different from " http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" [XML Namespaces] , or if thequalifiedName
or its prefix is "xmlns" and thenamespaceURI
is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if thenamespaceURI
is "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" and neither thequalifiedName
nor its prefix is "xmlns".
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Always thrown if the current document does not support the"XML"
feature, since namespaces were defined by XML.- Since:
- DOM Level 2
createAttributeNS
Attr createAttributeNS(String namespaceURI, String qualifiedName) throws DOMException
Creates an attribute of the given qualified name and namespace URI.
Per [XML Namespaces] , applications must use the valuenull
as thenamespaceURI
parameter for methods if they wish to have no namespace.- Parameters:

, if thequalifiedName
has a prefix that is "xml" and thenamespaceURI
is different from " http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace", if thequalifiedName
or its prefix is "xmlns" and thenamespaceURI
is different from "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", or if thenamespaceURI
is "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/" and neither thequalifiedName
nor its prefix is "xmlns".
NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Always thrown if the current document does not support the"XML"
feature, since namespaces were defined by XML.- Since:

- A new
NodeList
object containing all the matchedElements
. - Since:
- DOM Level 2
getElementById
Element getElementById(String elementId)
Returns theElement
that has an ID attribute with the given value. If no such element exists, this returnsnull
. If more than one element has an ID attribute with that value, what is returned is undefined.
The DOM implementation is expected to use the attributeAttr.isId
to determine if an attribute is of type ID. Note: Attributes with the name "ID" or "id" are not of type ID unless so defined.- Parameters:
elementId
- The uniqueid
value for an element.- Returns:
- The matching element or
null
if there is none. - Since:
- DOM Level 2
getInputEncoding
String getInputEncoding()
An attribute specifying the encoding used for this document at the time of the parsing. This isnull
when it is not known, such as when theDocument
was created in memory.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getXmlEncoding
String getXmlEncoding()
An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the encoding of this document. This isnull
when unspecified or when it is not known, such as when theDocument
was created in memory.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getXmlStandalone
boolean getXmlStandalone()
An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone. This isfalse
when unspecified. Note: No verification is done on the value when setting this attribute. Applications should useDocument.normalizeDocument()
with the "validate" parameter to verify if the value matches the validity constraint for standalone document declaration as defined in [XML 1.0].- Since:
- DOM Level 3
setXmlStandalone
void setXmlStandalone(boolean xmlStandalone) throws DOMException
An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, whether this document is standalone. This isfalse
when unspecified. Note: No verification is done on the value when setting this attribute. Applications should useDocument.normalizeDocument()

- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if this document does not support the "XML" feature.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getXmlVersion
String getXmlVersion()
An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the version number of this document. If there is no declaration and if this document supports the "XML" feature, the value is"1.0"
. If this document does not support the "XML" feature, the value is alwaysnull
. Changing this attribute will affect methods that check for invalid characters in XML names. Application should invokeDocument.normalizeDocument()
in order to check for invalid characters in theNode
s that are already part of thisDocument
.
DOM applications may use theDOMImplementation.hasFeature(feature, version)
method with parameter values "XMLVersion" and "1.0" (respectively) to determine if an implementation supports [XML 1.0]. DOM applications may use the same method with parameter values "XMLVersion" and "1.1" (respectively) to determine if an implementation supports [XML 1.1]. In both cases, in order to support XML, an implementation must also support the "XML" feature defined in this specification.Document
objects supporting a version of the "XMLVersion" feature must not raise aNOT_SUPPORTED_ERR
exception for the same version number when usingDocument.xmlVersion
.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
setXmlVersion
void setXmlVersion(String xmlVersion) throws DOMException
An attribute specifying, as part of the XML declaration, the version number of this document. If there is no declaration and if this document supports the "XML" feature, the value is"1.0"
. If this document does not support the "XML" feature, the value is alwaysnull
. Changing this attribute will affect methods that check for invalid characters in XML names. Application should invokeDocument.normalizeDocument()

objects supporting a version of the "XMLVersion" feature must not raise aNOT_SUPPORTED_ERR
exception for the same version number when usingDocument.xmlVersion
.- Throws:

- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the version is set to a value that is not supported by thisDocument
or if this document does not support the "XML" feature.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getStrictErrorChecking
boolean getStrictErrorChecking()
An attribute specifying whether error checking is enforced or not. When set tofalse
, the implementation is free to not test every possible error case normally defined on DOM operations, and not raise anyDOMException
on DOM operations or report errors while usingDocument.normalizeDocument()
. In case of error, the behavior is undefined. This attribute istrue
by default.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
setStrictErrorChecking
void setStrictErrorChecking(boolean strictErrorChecking)
An attribute specifying whether error checking is enforced or not. When set tofalse
, the implementation is free to not test every possible error case normally defined on DOM operations, and not raise anyDOMException
on DOM operations or report errors while usingDocument.normalizeDocument()
. In case of error, the behavior is undefined. This attribute istrue
by default.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getDocumentURI
String getDocumentURI()
The location of the document ornull
if undefined or if theDocument
was created usingDOMImplementation.createDocument
. No lexical checking is performed when setting this attribute; this could result in anull
value returned when usingNode.baseURI
.
Beware that when theDocument
supports the feature "HTML" [DOM Level 2 HTML] , the href attribute of the HTML BASE element takes precedence over this attribute when computingNode.baseURI
.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
setDocumentURI
void setDocumentURI(String documentURI)
The location of the document ornull
if undefined or if theDocument
was created usingDOMImplementation.createDocument
. No lexical checking is performed when setting this attribute; this could result in anull

.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
adoptNode
Node adoptNode(Node source) throws DOMException
Attempts to adopt a node from another document to this document. If supported, it changes theownerDocument
of the source node, its children, as well as the attached attribute nodes if there are any. If the source node has a parent it is first removed from the child list of its parent. This effectively allows moving a subtree from one document to another (unlikeimportNode()
which create a copy of the source node instead of moving it). When it fails, applications should useDocument.importNode()
instead. Note that if the adopted node is already part of this document (i.e. the source and target document are the same), this method still has the effect of removing the source node from the child list of its parent, if any. The following list describes the specifics for each type of node.- ATTRIBUTE_NODE
- The
ownerElement
attribute is set tonull
and thespecified
flag is set totrue
on the adoptedAttr
. The descendants of the sourceAttr
are recursively adopted. - DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
- The descendants of the source node are recursively adopted.
- DOCUMENT_NODE
Document
nodes cannot be adopted.- DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE
DocumentType
nodes cannot be adopted.- ELEMENT_NODE
- Specified attribute nodes of the source element are adopted. Default attributes are discarded, though if the document being adopted into defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. The descendants of the source element are recursively adopted.
- ENTITY_NODE
Entity
nodes cannot be adopted.- ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE
- Only the
EntityReference
node itself is adopted, the descendants are discarded, since the source and destination documents might have defined the entity differently. If the document being imported into provides a definition for this entity name, its value is assigned. - NOTATION_NODE
Notation
nodes cannot be adopted.- PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE
- These nodes can all be adopted. No specifics.
Document.importNode()
method, this method does not raise anINVALID_CHARACTER_ERR
exception, and applications should use theDocument.normalizeDocument()
method to check if an imported name is not an XML name according to the XML version in use.- Parameters:
source
- The node to move into this document.- Returns:
- The adopted node, or
null
if this operation fails, such as when the source node comes from a different implementation. - Throws:
DOMException
- NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the source node is of typeDOCUMENT
,DOCUMENT_TYPE
.
NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the source node is readonly.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
getDomConfig
DOMConfiguration getDomConfig()
The configuration used whenDocument.normalizeDocument()
is invoked.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
normalizeDocument
void normalizeDocument()
This method acts as if the document was going through a save and load cycle, putting the document in a "normal" form. As a consequence, this method updates the replacement tree ofEntityReference
nodes and normalizesText
nodes, as defined in the methodNode.normalize()
.
Otherwise, the actual result depends on the features being set on theDocument.domConfig
object and governing what operations actually take place. Noticeably this method could also make the document namespace well-formed according to the algorithm described in , check the character normalization, remove theCDATASection
nodes, etc. SeeDOMConfiguration
for details.// Keep in the document the information defined // in the XML Information Set (Java example) DOMConfiguration docConfig = myDocument.getDomConfig(); docConfig.setParameter("infoset", Boolean.TRUE); myDocument.normalizeDocument();
Mutation events, when supported, are generated to reflect the changes occurring on the document.
If errors occur during the invocation of this method, such as an attempt to update a read-only node or aNode.nodeName
contains an invalid character according to the XML version in use, errors or warnings (DOMError.SEVERITY_ERROR
orDOMError.SEVERITY_WARNING
) will be reported using theDOMErrorHandler
object associated with the "error-handler " parameter. Note this method might also report fatal errors (DOMError.SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR
) if an implementation cannot recover from an error.- Since:
- DOM Level 3
renameNode
Node renameNode(Node n, String namespaceURI, String qualifiedName) throws DOMException
Rename an existing node of typeELEMENT_NODE
orATTRIBUTE_NODE
.
When possible this simply changes the name of the given node, otherwise this creates a new node with the specified name and replaces the existing node with the new node as described below.
If simply changing the name of the given node is not possible, the following operations are performed: a new node is created, any registered event listener is registered on the new node, any user data attached to the old node is removed from that node, the old node is removed from its parent if it has one, the children are moved to the new node, if the renamed node is anElement
its attributes are moved to the new node, the new node is inserted at the position the old node used to have in its parent's child nodes list if it has one, the user data that was attached to the old node is attached to the new node.
When the node being renamed is anElement
only the specified attributes are moved, default attributes originated from the DTD are updated according to the new element name. In addition, the implementation may update default attributes from other schemas. Applications should useDocument.normalizeDocument()
to guarantee these attributes are up-to-date.
When the node being renamed is anAttr
that is attached to anElement
, the node is first removed from theElement
attributes map. Then, once renamed, either by modifying the existing node or creating a new one as described above, it is put back.
In addition,- a user data event
NODE_RENAMED
is fired, - when the implementation supports the feature "MutationNameEvents", each mutation operation involved in this method fires the appropriate event, and in the end the event {
http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events
,DOMElementNameChanged
