It is very common to want to be able to - * extract a portion of a document's tree or to create a new fragment of a - * document. Imagine implementing a user command like cut or rearranging a - * document by moving fragments around. It is desirable to have an object - * which can hold such fragments and it is quite natural to use a Node for - * this purpose. While it is true that a <code>Document</code> object could - * fulfill this role, a <code>Document</code> object can potentially be a - * heavyweight object, depending on the underlying implementation. What is - * really needed for this is a very lightweight object. - * <code>DocumentFragment</code> is such an object. - * <p>Furthermore, various operations -- such as inserting nodes as children - * of another <code>Node</code> -- may take <code>DocumentFragment</code> - * objects as arguments; this results in all the child nodes of the - * <code>DocumentFragment</code> being moved to the child list of this node. - * <p>The children of a <code>DocumentFragment</code> node are zero or more - * nodes representing the tops of any sub-trees defining the structure of - * the document. <code>DocumentFragment</code> nodes do not need to be - * well-formed XML documents (although they do need to follow the rules - * imposed upon well-formed XML parsed entities, which can have multiple top - * nodes). For example, a <code>DocumentFragment</code> might have only one - * child and that child node could be a <code>Text</code> node. Such a - * structure model represents neither an HTML document nor a well-formed XML - * document. - * <p>When a <code>DocumentFragment</code> is inserted into a - * <code>Document</code> (or indeed any other <code>Node</code> that may - * take children) the children of the <code>DocumentFragment</code> and not - * the <code>DocumentFragment</code> itself are inserted into the - * <code>Node</code>. This makes the <code>DocumentFragment</code> very - * useful when the user wishes to create nodes that are siblings; the - * <code>DocumentFragment</code> acts as the parent of these nodes so that - * the user can use the standard methods from the <code>Node</code> - * interface, such as <code>Node.insertBefore</code> and - * <code>Node.appendChild</code>. - * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>. - */ -public interface DocumentFragment extends Node { -} |
