Class XMLChar

  • public class XMLChar
extends java.lang.Object
    This class defines the basic XML character properties. The data in this class can be used to verify that a character is a valid XML character or if the character is a space, name start, or name character.

    A series of convenience methods are supplied to ease the burden of the developer. Because inlining the checks can improve per character performance, the tables of character properties are public. Using the character as an index into the CHARS array and applying the appropriate mask flag (e.g. MASK_VALID), yields the same results as calling the convenience methods. There is one exception: check the comments for the isValid method for details.

      • MASK_CONTENT

        public static final int MASK_CONTENT
        Content character mask. Special characters are those that can be considered the start of markup, such as '<' and '&'. The various newline characters are considered special as well. All other valid XML characters can be considered content.

        This is an optimization for the inner loop of character scanning.

        Returns true the supplemental character corresponding to the given surrogates.
        Parameters:
        h - The high surrogate.
        l - The low surrogate.

      • highSurrogate

        public static char highSurrogate​(int c)
        Returns the high surrogate of a supplemental character
        Parameters:
        c - The supplemental character to "split".

      • lowSurrogate

        Returns the low surrogate of a supplemental character
        Parameters:
        c - The supplemental character to "split".

      • isHighSurrogate

        public static boolean isHighSurrogate​(int c)
        Returns whether the given character is a high surrogate
        Parameters:
