Titanium Mobile # Titanium.XML.Node
A single node in the Titanium.XML.Document tree.
0.9
0.9
9.2.0# Overview
Implements the DOM Level 2 API (opens new window) on Android and iOS.
Note that on iOS, only Titanium.XML.Element nodes are mutable. This means
that the methods appendChild, insertBefore, removeChild, and
replaceChild only work on Element objects. If one of these methods is called on
another type of node, it throws an exception.
# Properties
# attributes READONLY
0.9 0.9 9.2.0A map of this node's attributes.
As defined by the DOM specification, only Titanium.XML.Element nodes have attributes.
For all other node types, this property is always null.
# childNodes READONLY
0.9 0.9 9.2.0A Titanium.XML.NodeList of this node's children.
# localName
0.9 0.9 9.2.0Local part of the qualified name of this node.
The local part of the qualified name that comes after the colon. That is, the name without the namespace prefix.
# nodeName READONLY
0.9 0.9 9.2.0Name of this node.
Certain node types have constant values defined by the DOM specification:
- Text node:
#text - Comment node:
#comment - CDATA section node:
#cdata-section - Document node:
#document - Document fragment node:
#document-fragment
# nodeType READONLY

ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE, ENTITY_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE,
DOCUMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE, NOTATION_NODE.
# nodeValue
0.9 0.9 9.2.0Content (value) of this node.
As defined in the DOM specification, the node value is always null for
Document, DocumentFragment, DocumentType, Element, Entity, EntityReference, and
Notation nodes.
# ownerDocument READONLY
0.9 0.9 9.2.0This node's owning document.
Note that a node always has an owning document, even if it is not part of the document tree.
For more on node ownership, see ownerDocument issues in the W3C DOM FAQ.
# prefix
