This interface defines methods that are
global to an implementation of the DOM rather than specific to a
particular Document object. Obtain a reference to
the DOMImplementation object that represents your
implementation by calling the getImplementation( )
method of any Document object.
createDocument( ) returns a new, empty
Document object which you can populate with nodes
that you create using the create methods defined
by the Document interface.
hasFeature( ) allows you to test whether your DOM
implementation supports a specified version of a named feature, or
module, of the DOM standard. This method should return
TRue when you pass the feature name
"core" and the verion
"1.0", or when you pass the feature
names "core" or
"xml" and the version
"2.0". The DOM standard includes a
number of optional modules, but the Java platform has not adopted the
subpackages of this package that define the API for those optional
modules, and therefore the DOM implementation bundled with a Java
implementation is not likely to support those modules.
The javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder class
provides another way to obtain the
DOMImplementation object by calling its
getdOMImplementation( ) object. It also defines a
shortcut newDocument( ) method for creating empty
Document objects to populate.
public interface DOMImplementation {
// Public Instance Methods
Document createDocument(String namespaceURI, String qualifiedName,
DocumentType doctype) throws DOMException;
DocumentType createDocumentType(String qualifiedName, String publicId,
String systemId) throws DOMException;
5.0 Object getFeature(String feature, String version);
boolean hasFeature(String feature, String version);
}
