Interface DOMWriterFilter

All Superinterfaces:
NodeFilter

public interface DOMWriterFilter
extends NodeFilter

DOM Level 3 WD Experimental: The DOM Level 3 specification is at the stage of Working Draft, which represents work in progress and thus may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. DOMWriterFilters provide applications the ability to examine nodes as they are being serialized. DOMWriterFilter lets the application decide what nodes should be serialized or not.

The Document, DocumentType, Notation, and Entity nodes are not passed to the filter.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save Specification.
