Method Detail

isXMLNameStartCharacter

public static boolean isXMLNameStartCharacter(int codePoint)

Determines if a character is an XML name start character.

Parameters:

codePoint - The code point of the character to be tested. For UTF-16 characters the code point corresponds to the value of the char that represents the character.

Returns:

true if codePoint is an XML name start character, otherwise false

isXMLNameChar

public static boolean isXMLNameChar(int codePoint)

Determines if a character is an XML name character.

Parameters:

codePoint - The code point of the character to be tested. For UTF-8 and UTF-16 characters the code point corresponds to the value of the char that represents the character.

Returns:

true if codePoint is an XML name start character, otherwise false

isNCNameStartChar

public static boolean isNCNameStartChar(int codePoint)

Deterimines if a character is an NCName (Non-Colonised Name) start character.

Parameters:

codePoint - The code point of the character to be tested. For UTF-8 and UTF-16 characters the code point corresponds to the value of the char that represents the character.

Returns:

true if codePoint is a NCName start character, otherwise false.

isNCNameChar

public static boolean isNCNameChar(int codePoint)

Deterimines if a character is an NCName (Non-Colonised Name) character.

Parameters:

codePoint - The code point of the character to be tested. For UTF-8 and UTF-16 characters the code point corresponds to the value of the char that represents the character.

Returns:

true if codePoint is a NCName character, otherwise false.

isNCName

public static boolean isNCName(CharSequence s)

Determines if a character sequence is an NCName (Non-Colonised Name). An NCName is a string which starts with an NCName start character and is followed by zero or more NCName characters.

Parameters:

s - The character sequence to be tested.

Returns:

true if s is an NCName, otherwise false.

isQName

public static boolean isQName(CharSequence s)

Determines if a character sequence is a QName. A QName is either an NCName (LocalName), or an NCName followed by a colon followed by another NCName (where the first NCName is referred to as the 'Prefix Name' and the second NCName is referred to as the 'Local Name' - i.e. PrefixName:LocalName).

Parameters:

s - The character sequence to be tested.

Returns:

true if s is a QName, otherwise false.

hasNCNameSuffix

public static boolean hasNCNameSuffix(CharSequence s)

Determines if a character sequence has a suffix that is an NCName.

Parameters:

s - The character sequence.

Returns:

true if the character sequence s has a suffix that is an NCName.

getNCNameSuffixIndex

public static int getNCNameSuffixIndex(CharSequence s)

Gets the index of the longest NCName that is the suffix of a character sequence.

Parameters:

s - The character sequence.

Returns:

The index of the longest suffix of the specified character sequence s that is an NCName, or -1 if the character sequence s does not have a suffix that is an NCName.

getNCNameSuffix

public static String getNCNameSuffix(CharSequence s)

Get the longest NCName that is a suffix of a character sequence.

Parameters:

s - The character sequence.

Returns:

The String which is the longest suffix of the character sequence s that is an NCName, or null if the character sequence s does not have a suffix that is an NCName.

getNCNamePrefix

public static String getNCNamePrefix(CharSequence s)

utility to get the part of a charsequence that is not the NCName fragment.

Parameters:

s - the charsequence to split

Returns:

the prefix split at the last non-ncname character, or the whole input if no ncname is found

escapeXML

public static String escapeXML(CharSequence s)

Escapes a character sequence so that it is valid XML.

Parameters:

s - The character sequence.

Returns:

The escaped version of the character sequence.
