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!

2. [element content whitespace] A boolean indicating whether a

If there is no declaration for the containing element, an XML
processor must assume that the whitespace could be meaningful and

is false (so there may be an unread declaration), then the value

space.
Note too that it always returns false for non-Text nodes.
