Interface de.tudarmstadt.ito.domutils.NameQualifier

public interface NameQualifier
Interface encapsulating namespace-qualified names of DOM Nodes.

Because the DOM does not yet define how it interacts with namespaces, this interface encapsulates namespace behavior.

The 'local name' of a node is its unprefixed name. The 'qualified name' of a node is the namespace URI plus a caret (^) plus the local name; if there is no namespace URI, the qualified name is the same as the local name. For example:

    <foo:element1 xmlns="http://foo">
    Local name: "element1"
    Qualified name: "http://foo^element1"

    <element2>
    Local name: "element2"
    Qualified name: "element2"
