%XML.Document

class %XML.Document extends %XML.ImportHandler, %XML.Node

For details on using this class, see Representing an XML Document as a DOM.

%XML.Document represents an XML document as an Document Object Model (DOM). The DOM may be created either
  • from an XML document by accessing the Document property of %XML.Reader after calling an Openxxx method of %XML.Reader.
  • as a new DOM by calling the CreateDocument() of this class.

    • The %XML.Document class maintains the namespaces for the DOM. The %XML.Node class created by GetDocumentElement() may be used to navigate the DOM or the macros in %xmlDOM.inc may be used to navigate the DOM based on the DocumentId of %XML.Document.
