end
            

Returns a new REXML::Document object.

When no arguments are given, returns an empty document:

d = REXML::Document.new
d.to_s # => ""

When argument string is given, it must be a string containing a valid XML document:

xml_string = '<root><foo>Foo</foo><bar>Bar</bar></root>'
d = REXML::Document.new(xml_string)
d.to_s # => "<root><foo>Foo</foo><bar>Bar</bar></root>"

When argument io_stream is given, it must be an IO object that is opened for reading, and when read must return a valid XML document:

File.write('t.xml', xml_string)
d = File.open('t.xml', 'r') do |io|
  REXML::Document.new(io)
end
d.to_s # => "<root><foo>Foo</foo><bar>Bar</bar></root>"

When argument document is given, it must be an existing document object, whose context and attributes (but not chidren) are cloned into the new document:

d = REXML::Document.new(xml_string)
d.children    # => [<root> ... </>]
d.context = {raw: :all, compress_whitespace: :all}
d.add_attributes({'bar' => 0, 'baz' => 1})
d1 = REXML::Document.new(d)
d1.children   # => []
d1.context    # => {:raw=>:all, :compress_whitespace=>:all}
d1.attributes # => {"bar"=>bar='0', "baz"=>baz='1'}

When argument context is given, it must be a hash containing context entries for the document; see Element Context:

context = {raw: :all, compress_whitespace: :all}
d = REXML::Document.new(xml_string, context)
d.context # => {:raw=>:all, :compress_whitespace=>:all}

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 91
def initialize( source = nil, context = {} )
  @entity_expansion_count = 0
  super()
  @context = context
  return if source.nil?
  if source.kind_of? Document
    @context = source.context
    super source
  else
    build(  source )
  end
end
            

Adds an object to the document; returns self.

When argument xml_decl is given, it must be an REXML::XMLDecl object, which becomes the XML declaration for the document, replacing the previous XML declaration if any:

d = REXML::Document.new
d.xml_decl.to_s # => ""
d.add(REXML::XMLDecl.new('2.0'))
d.xml_decl.to_s # => "<?xml version='2.0'?>"

When argument doc_type is given, it must be an REXML::DocType object, which becomes the document type for the document, replacing the previous document type, if any:

d = REXML::Document.new
d.doctype.to_s # => ""
d.add(REXML::DocType.new('foo'))
d.doctype.to_s # => "<!DOCTYPE foo>"

When argument object (not an REXML::XMLDecl or REXML::DocType object) is given it is added as the last child:

d = REXML::Document.new
d.add(REXML::Element.new('foo'))
d.to_s # => "<foo/>"

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 169
def add( child )
  if child.kind_of? XMLDecl
    if @children[0].kind_of? XMLDecl
      @children[0] = child
    else
      @children.unshift child
    end
    child.parent = self
  elsif child.kind_of? DocType
    # Find first Element or DocType node and insert the decl right
    # before it.  If there is no such node, just insert the child at the
    # end.  If there is a child and it is an DocType, then replace it.
    insert_before_index = @children.find_index { |x|
      x.kind_of?(Element) || x.kind_of?(DocType)
    }
    if insert_before_index # Not null = not end of list
      if @children[ insert_before_index ].kind_of? DocType
        @children[ insert_before_index ] = child
      else
        @children[ insert_before_index-1, 0 ] = child
      end
    else  # Insert at end of list
      @children << child
    end
    child.parent = self
  else
    rv = super
    raise "attempted adding second root element to document" if @elements.size > 1
    rv
  end
end
            

Adds an element to the document by calling REXML::Element#add_element:

REXML::Element.add_element(name_or_element, attributes)

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 208
def add_element(arg=nil, arg2=nil)
  rv = super
  raise "attempted adding second root element to document" if @elements.size > 1
  rv
end
            

Returns the new document resulting from executing Document.new(self). See ::new.

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 119
def clone
  Document.new self
end
            

Returns the DocType object for the document, if it exists, otherwise nil:

d = REXML::Document.new('<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "subjects.dtd">')
d.doctype.class # => REXML::DocType
d = REXML::Document.new('')
d.doctype.class # => nil

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 240
def doctype
  @children.find { |item| item.kind_of? DocType }
end
            

Returns the XMLDecl encoding of the document, if it has been set, otherwise the default encoding:

d = REXML::Document.new('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>')
d.encoding # => "UTF-16"
d = REXML::Document.new('')
d.encoding # => "UTF-8"

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 289
def encoding
  xml_decl().encoding
end
            

Returns an empty string.

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 128
def expanded_name
  ''
  #d = doc_type
  #d ? d.name : "UNDEFINED"
end
            

Returns the symbol :document.

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 109
def node_type
  :document
end
            

Returns the root element of the document, if it exists, otherwise nil:

d = REXML::Document.new('<root></root>')
d.root # => <root/>
d = REXML::Document.new('')
d.root # => nil

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 224
def root
  elements[1]
  #self
  #@children.find { |item| item.kind_of? Element }
end
            

Returns the XMLDecl standalone value of the document as a string, if it has been set, otherwise the default standalone value:

d = REXML::Document.new('<?xml standalone="yes"?>')
d.stand_alone? # => "yes"
d = REXML::Document.new('')
d.stand_alone? # => nil

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 304
def stand_alone?
  xml_decl().stand_alone?
end
            

Returns the XMLDecl version of this document as a string, if it has been set, otherwise the default version:

d = REXML::Document.new('<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>')
d.version # => "2.0"
d = REXML::Document.new('')
d.version # => "1.0"

 
               # File rexml-3.2.5/lib/rexml/document.rb, line 274
def version
  xml_decl().version
end
            

Write the XML tree out, optionally with indent. This writes out the entire XML document, including XML declarations, doctype declarations, and processing instructions (if any are given).

A controversial point is whether Document should always write the XML declaration (<?xml version='1.0'?>) whether or not one is given by the user (or source document). REXML does not write one if one was not specified, because it adds unnecessary bandwidth to applications such as XML-RPC.

Accept Nth argument style and options Hash style as argument. The recommended style is options Hash style for one or more arguments case.

Examples

Document.new("<a><b/></a>").write

output = ""
Document.new("<a><b/></a>").write(output)

output = ""
Document.new("<a><b/></a>").write(:output => output, :indent => 2)

See also the classes in the rexml/formatters package for the proper way to change the default formatting of XML output.

Examples

output = ""
tr = Transitive.new
tr.write(Document.new("<a><b/></a>"), output)

output

output an object which supports '<< string'; this is where the document will be written.

indent

An integer. If -1, no indenting will be used; otherwise, the indentation will be twice this number of spaces, and children will be indented an additional amount. For a value of 3, every item will be indented 3 more levels, or 6 more spaces (2 * 3). Defaults to -1

transitive

If transitive is true and indent is >= 0, then the output will be pretty-printed in such a way that the added whitespace does not affect the absolute value of the document – that is, it leaves the value and number of Text nodes in the document unchanged.

ie_hack

This hack inserts a space before the /> on empty tags to address a limitation of Internet Explorer. Defaults to false

encoding

Encoding name as String. Change output encoding to specified encoding instead of encoding in XML declaration. Defaults to nil. It means encoding in XML declaration is used.
