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