DTM is an XML document model expressed as a table
* rather than an object tree. It attempts to provide an interface to
* a parse tree that has very little object creation. (DTM
* implementations may also support incremental construction of the
* model, but that's hidden from the DTM API.)
*
* Nodes in the DTM are identified by integer "handles". A handle must * be unique within a process, and carries both node identification and * document identification. It must be possible to compare two handles * (and thus their nodes) for identity with "==".
* *Namespace URLs, local-names, and expanded-names can all be * represented by and tested as integer ID values. An expanded name * represents (and may or may not directly contain) a combination of * the URL ID, and the local-name ID. Note that the namespace URL id * can be 0, which should have the meaning that the namespace is null. * For consistancy, zero should not be used for a local-name index.
* *Text content of a node is represented by an index and length, * permitting efficient storage such as a shared FastStringBuffer.
* *The model of the tree, as well as the general navigation model, * is that of XPath 1.0, for the moment. The model will eventually be * adapted to match the XPath 2.0 data model, XML Schema, and * InfoSet.
* *DTM does _not_ directly support the W3C's Document Object * Model. However, it attempts to come close enough that an * implementation of DTM can be created that wraps a DOM and vice * versa.
* *Please Note: The DTM API is still * Subject To Change. This wouldn't affect most * users, but might require updating some extensions.
* *The largest change being contemplated is a reconsideration of * the Node Handle representation. We are still not entirely sure * that an integer packed with two numeric subfields is really the * best solution. It has been suggested that we move up to a Long, to * permit more nodes per document without having to reduce the number * of slots in the DTMManager. There's even been a proposal that we * replace these integers with "cursor" objects containing the * internal node id and a pointer to the actual DTM object; this might * reduce the need to continuously consult the DTMManager to retrieve * the latter, and might provide a useful "hook" back into normal Java * heap management. But changing this datatype would have huge impact * on Xalan's internals -- especially given Java's lack of C-style * typedefs -- so we won't cut over unless we're convinced the new * solution really would be an improvement!
