Content:

Classes:

• Attributes - Holds attributes in current node, using attribute's name as key and it's value as value. Appends namespace prefix to attribute's name as key if is a namespaced attribute.

Properties:

• public bool parse_children { get; set; }
  If true all children are parsed. If false, all its children are stored as plain string in unparsed. In order to generate an XML tree use read_unparsed.
• public MemoryOutputStream read_buffer { get; set; }
  On memory GLib.MemoryOutputStream with the unparsed string of the element
• public string unparsed { get; set; }
  Temporally stores, all unparsed children as plain string. See parse_children.

Creation methods:

• public Element ()

Methods:

• public void initialize (string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name. If GXml.Element.initialize_with_namespace has been called in any base class, this method just change element node's name and keeps previous namespace and prefix.
• public void initialize_document (DomDocument doc, string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name and document.
• public void initialize_document_with_namespace (DomDocument doc, string? namespace_uri, string? prefix, string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name, document and namespace.
• public void initialize_with_namespace (string? namespace_uri, string? prefix, string local_name)
  Convenient function to initialize, at construction time, a GXml.Element using given local name and namespace.
• public string? lookup_namespace_uri (string? prefix)
• public string? lookup_prefix (string? nspace)
• public void parse_buffer () throws Error
  Synchronically parse read_buffer
• public async void parse_buffer_async () throws Error
  Asynchronically parse read_buffer
• public uint parse_pending ()
  Monitor multi-threading parsing
• public void read_unparsed () throws Error
  Parse all children, adding them to current node, stored in unparsed. Once it finish, sets unparsed to null.

Fields:

• protected Attributes _attributes
  Reference to Attributes for element's attributes. Derived classes should avoid to modify it.
• protected string _namespace_uri
  Use this field to set node's namespace URI. Can used to set it at construction time.
