Document Node to Infoset[top]

Document Node to Infoset

A Document node maps to an document information item. Document nodes with no namespace URI (Node.namespaceURI equals to null) cannot be represented using the Infoset. The properties of the corresponding document information item are constructed as follows:

13The table contains the mapping of a Node to the Infoset Property Value

11[children]	11`Node.childNodes`
11[document element]	11`Document.documentElement`
11[notations]	11`Document.doctype.notations`
11[unparsed entities]	11The information items from `Document.doctype.entities`, whose `Node.childNodes` is an empty list
11[base URI]	11`Document.documentURI`
11[character encoding scheme]	11`Document.inputEncoding`
11[standalone]	11`Document.xmlStandalone`
11[version]	11`Document.xmlVersion`
11[all declarations processed]	11The value is implementation dependent
