- All Superinterfaces:
Node
Each
Document
has a doctype
attribute whose value
is either null
or a DocumentType
object. The
DocumentType
interface in the DOM Core provides an interface
to the list of entities that are defined for the document, and little
else because the effect of namespaces and the various XML schema efforts
on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.
DOM Level 3 doesn't support editing DocumentType
nodes.
DocumentType
nodes are read-only.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Method Details
-
getName
String getName()The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following theDOCTYPE
keyword. -
getEntities
NamedNodeMap getEntities()ANamedNodeMap
containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Parameter entities are not contained. Duplicates are discarded. For example in:<!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY bar "bar2"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz"> ]> <ex/>
the interface provides access tofoo
and the first declaration ofbar
but not the second declaration ofbar
orbaz
. Every node in this map also implements theEntity
interface.
The DOM Level 2 does not support editing entities, thereforeentities
cannot be altered in any way. -
getNotations
NamedNodeMap getNotations()ANamedNodeMap
containing the notations declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. Every node in this map also implements theNotation
interface.
The DOM Level 2 does not support editing notations, thereforenotations
cannot be altered in any way. -
getPublicId
String getPublicId()The public identifier of the external subset.- Since:
- 1.4, DOM Level 2
-
getSystemId
String getSystemId()The system identifier of the external subset. This may be an absolute URI or not.- Since:
- 1.4, DOM Level 2
-
getInternalSubset
String getInternalSubset()The internal subset as a string, ornull
if there is none. This is does not contain the delimiting square brackets.Note: The actual content returned depends on how much information is available to the implementation. This may vary depending on various parameters, including the XML processor used to build the document.
