Defined in:
lib/rexml/document.rb

Overview

Represents a full XML document, including PIs, a doctype, etc. A Document has a single child that can be accessed by root(). Note that if you want to have an XML declaration written for a document you create, you must add one; REXML documents do not write a default declaration for you. See |DECLARATION| and |write|.

Constructor Details

#initialize(source = nil, context = {}) ⇒ Document

Constructor Documents have their context and Element attributes cloned. Strings are expected to be valid XML documents. IOs are expected to be sources of valid XML documents. this should be a Hash.

Parameters:

  • source (defaults to: nil) —

    if supplied, must be a Document, String, or IO.

  • context (defaults to: {}) —

    if supplied, contains the context of the document;

#write(*arguments) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

doc.write(output=$stdout, indent=-1, transtive=false, ie_hack=false, encoding=nil)
doc.write(options={:output => $stdout, :indent => -1, :transtive => false, :ie_hack => false, :encoding => nil})

Write the XML tree out, optionally with indent. This writes out the entire XML document, including XML declarations, doctype declarations, and processing instructions (if any are given).

A controversial point is whether Document should always write the XML declaration (<?xml version=‘1.0’?>) whether or not one is given by the user (or source document). REXML does not write one if one was not specified, because it adds unnecessary bandwidth to applications such as XML-RPC.

Accept Nth argument style and options Hash style as argument. The recommended style is options Hash style for one or more arguments case.

Examples

Document.new("<a><b/></a>").write

output = ""
Document.new("<a><b/></a>").write(output)

output = ""
Document.new("<a><b/></a>").write(:output => output, :indent => 2)

See also the classes in the rexml/formatters package for the proper way to change the default formatting of XML output.

Examples

output = ""
tr = Transitive.new
tr.write(Document.new("<a><b/></a>"), output)
output

output an object which supports ‘<< string’; this is where the document will be written.

indent

An integer. If -1, no indenting will be used; otherwise, the indentation will be twice this number of spaces, and children will be indented an additional amount. For a value of 3, every item will be indented 3 more levels, or 6 more spaces (2 * 3). Defaults to -1

transitive

If transitive is true and indent is >= 0, then the output will be pretty-printed in such a way that the added whitespace does not affect the absolute value of the document – that is, it leaves the value and number of Text nodes in the document unchanged.

ie_hack

Internet Explorer is the worst piece of crap to have ever been written, with the possible exception of Windows itself. Since IE is unable to parse proper XML, we have to provide a hack to generate XML that IE’s limited abilities can handle. This hack inserts a space before the /> on empty tags. Defaults to false

encoding

Encoding name as String. Change output encoding to specified encoding instead of encoding in XML declaration. Defaults to nil. It means encoding in XML declaration is used.
