Interface NameList

public interface NameList

The `NameList` interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of parallel pairs of name and namespace values (which could be null values), without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented. The items in the `NameList` are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Since:
  DOM Level 3

Method Summary
`boolean` `contains(java.lang.String str)` Test if a name is part of this `NameList`.
`boolean` `containsNS(java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String name)` Test if the pair namespaceURI/name is part of this `NameList`.
`int` `getLength()` The number of pairs (name and namespaceURI) in the list.
`java.lang.String` `getName(int index)` Returns the `index`th name item in the collection.
`java.lang.String` `getNamespaceURI(int index)` Returns the `index`th namespaceURI item in the collection.
