Class XmlNamespaceDictionary (1.45.1) 

public final class XmlNamespaceDictionary

Beta
Thread-safe XML namespace dictionary that provides a one-to-one map of namespace alias to URI.

Implementation is thread-safe. For maximum efficiency, applications should use a single globally-shared instance of the XML namespace dictionary.

A namespace alias is uniquely mapped to a single namespace URI, and a namespace URI is uniquely mapped to a single namespace alias. In other words, it is not possible to have duplicates.

Sample usage:


 static final XmlNamespaceDictionary DICTIONARY = new XmlNamespaceDictionary()
 .set("", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom")
 .set("activity", "http://activitystrea.ms/spec/1.0/")
 .set("georss", "http://www.georss.org/georss")
 .set("media", "http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/")
 .set("thr", "http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0");

getAliasToUriMap()

public synchronized Map<String,String> getAliasToUriMap()

Returns an unmodified set of map entries for the map from namespace alias (or "" for the default namespace) to namespace URI.

Returns
Type Description
Map<String,String>

getUriForAlias(String alias)

public synchronized String getUriForAlias(String alias)

Returns the namespace URI for the given namespace alias (or "" for the default namespace).

Parameter

serialize(XmlSerializer serializer, String elementName, Object element)

public void serialize(XmlSerializer serializer, String elementName, Object element)

Shows a debug string representation of an element data object of key/value pairs.

Parameters
Name Description
serializer org.xmlpull.v1.XmlSerializer
elementName String

XML element local name prefixed by its namespace alias
element Object

element data object (GenericXml, Map, or any object with public fields)
Exceptions
Type Description
IOException

I/O exception

serialize(XmlSerializer serializer, String elementNamespaceUri, String elementLocalName, Object element)

public void serialize(XmlSerializer serializer, String elementNamespaceUri, String elementLocalName, Object element)

Shows a debug string representation of an element data object of key/value pairs.

Parameters
Name Description
serializer org.xmlpull.v1.XmlSerializer
elementNamespaceUri String

XML namespace URI or null for no namespace
elementLocalName String

XML local name
element Object

element data object (GenericXml, Map, or any object with public fields)
Exceptions
Type Description

I/O exception

set(String alias, String uri)

public synchronized XmlNamespaceDictionary set(String alias, String uri)

Adds a namespace of the given alias and URI.

If the uri is null, the namespace alias will be removed. Similarly, if the alias is null, the namespace URI will be removed. Otherwise, if the alias is already mapped to a different URI, it will be remapped to the new URI. Similarly, if a URI is already mapped to a different alias, it will be remapped to the new alias.

Parameters
Name Description
alias String

alias or null to remove the namespace URI
uri String

namespace URI or null to remove the namespace alias
Returns
Type Description
XmlNamespaceDictionary

this namespace dictionary

toStringOf(String elementName, Object element)

public String toStringOf(String elementName, Object element)

Shows a debug string representation of an element data object of key/value pairs.

Parameters
Name Description
elementName String

optional XML element local name prefixed by its namespace alias -- for example "atom:entry" -- or null to make up something
element Object

element data object (GenericXml, Map, or any object with public fields)
Returns
