Object

Object Hierarchy:

Description:

public interface Object : Object, DomNode, DomElement

A GXml Object Model represents a DomElement. It has attributes and children. All object's properties are handled as attributes if they are basic types like integers, strings, enums and others; Property objects are handled as attributes too. If object's attribute is a GLib.Object it is handled as node's child, but only if it is a GXml.Element object, other wise it is ignored when this object is used as DomNode in XML documents.

All known implementing classes:

Namespace: GXml

Methods:

public virtual void clean_property_elements (string name) throws Error
Utility method to remove all instances of a property being child elements of object. Is useful if you have a GXml.Element property, it should be just one child of this type and you want to overwrite it.
public virtual DomElementList find_elements (string name)
From a given property name of type GXml.Element, search all child nodes with node's local name equal to property.
public virtual ParamSpec? find_object_property_name (string pname)
Returns a GXml.Object or a Collection property's GLib.ParamSpec based on given name. This method is case insensitive.
public virtual Property? find_property (string name)
Search for a property of type GXml.Property and returns it as object
public virtual ParamSpec? find_property_name (string nick)
Returns property's GLib.ParamSpec based on given nick, without '::' This function is case insensitive.
public virtual string? get_attribute (string name)
Search for properties in objects, it should be an GLib.Object's property. If found a property with given name its value is returned as string representation.
public virtual DomElement? get_child (string name)
Search a GLib.Object property with given name and returns it, if it is a DomElement. If not found, DomElement.get_elements_by_tag_name is called, returning first node found. Tag name to use, is the given name parameter.
public virtual List<ParamSpec> get_properties_list ()
Returns a list with all properties' nick with "::" prefix. Nick name, with "::" prefix will be used on serialization to an attribute's name.
public virtual List<ParamSpec> get_property_element_list ()
Returns a list of names for all DomElement present as object's properties.
public virtual string? get_property_string (ParamSpec prop)
Returns an string representation of an Object's property.
public virtual bool remove_attribute (string name)
Search for a property and set it to null if possible returning true, if value can't be removed or located, returns false without change.
public virtual bool set_attribute (string name, string val)
Search for a GLib.Object property with given name, if found, given string representation is used as value to property, using any required transformation from string.
public virtual bool set_instance_property (string name)
Convenient method to set an instance of given property's name and initialize according to have same DomNode.owner_document and set its DomNode.parent_node to this appending it as a child. If property is a Collection it is initialize to use this as its Collection.element.
