Entity Node Mapping

Infoset to Entity Node[top]

Infoset to Entity Node

An unparsed entity information item maps to a Entity node. The attributes of the corresponding Entity node are constructed as follows:

13The table contains the mapping of an Infoset information item to a Node Attribute Value

11`Node.nodeName`	11The [name] property
11`Node.nodeValue`	11`null`
11`Node.nodeType`	11`Node.ENTITY_NODE`
11`Node.parentNode`	11`null`
11`Node.childNodes`	11Empty `NodeList`
11`Node.firstChild`	11`null`
11`Node.lastChild`	11`null`
11`Node.previousSibling`	11`null`
11`Node.nextSibling`	11`null`
11`Node.attributes`	11`null`
11`Node.ownerDocument`	11The document information item
11`Node.namespaceURI`	11`null`
11`Node.prefix`	11`null`
11`Node.localName`	11`null`
11`Node.baseURI`	11The [declaration base URI] property
11`Node.textContent`	11`""` (the node has no children)
11`Entity.publicId`	11The [public identifier] property
11`Entity.systemId`	11The [system identifier] property
11`Entity.notationName`	11The [notation name] property
11`Entity.inputEncoding`	11`null`
11`Entity.xmlEncoding`	11`null`
11`Entity.xmlVersion`	11`null`

NOTE:
The [notation] property is available through the DocumentType node.

Entity Node to Infoset[top]

Entity Node to Infoset

An Entity node maps to an unparsed entity information item. Entity nodes with children (Node.childNodes contains a non-empty list) cannot be represented using the Infoset. The properties of the corresponding unparsed entity information item are constructed as follows:

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

11[name]	11`Node.nodeName`
11[system identifier]	11`Entity.systemId`
11[public identifier]	11`Entity.publicId`
11[declaration base URI]	11`Node.baseURI`
11[notation name]	11`Entity.notationName`
11[notation]	11The `Notation` node referenced from `DocumentType.notations` whose name is the [notation name] property
