Sarissa()

Sarissa is a utility class. Provides "static" methods for DOMDocument, DOM Node serialization to XML strings and other utility goodies.

clearChildNodes

<static> void clearChildNodes(oNode)

Deletes all child nodes of the given node

Parameters:
oNode - the Node to empty

copyChildNodes

<static> void copyChildNodes(nodeFrom, nodeTo, bPreserveExisting)

Copies the childNodes of nodeFrom to nodeTo

Note: The second object's original content is deleted before the copy operation, unless you supply a true third parameter

Parameters:
nodeFrom - the Node to copy the childNodes from
nodeTo - the Node to copy the childNodes to
bPreserveExisting - whether to preserve the original content of nodeTo, default is false

escape

<static> Object escape(sXml)

Escape the given string chacters that correspond to the five predefined XML entities

Parameters:
sXml - the string to escape

getDomDocument

<static> Object getDomDocument(sUri, sName)

Factory method to obtain a new DOM Document object

Parameters:
sUri - the namespace of the root node (if any)
sUri - the local name of the root node (if any)

Returns:
a new DOM Document

getParseErrorText

<static> Object getParseErrorText(oDoc)

Returns a human readable description of the parsing error. Usefull for debugging. Tip: append the returned error string in a <pre> element if you want to render it.

Many thanks to Christian Stocker for the initial patch.

Parameters:
oDoc - The target DOM document

Returns:
The parsing error description of the target Document in human readable form (preformated text)

getText

<static> Object getText(oNode, deep)

moveChildNodes

<static> void moveChildNodes(nodeFrom, nodeTo, bPreserveExisting)

Moves the childNodes of nodeFrom to nodeTo

Note: The second object's original content is deleted before the move operation, unless you supply a true third parameter

Parameters:
nodeFrom - the Node to copy the childNodes from
nodeTo - the Node to copy the childNodes to
bPreserveExisting - whether to preserve the original content of nodeTo, default is

setXpathNamespaces

<static> void setXpathNamespaces(oDoc, sNsSet)

stripTags

<static> Object stripTags(s)

strips tags from a markup string

xmlize

<static> Object xmlize(anyObject, objectName, indentSpace)

Serialize any object to an XML string. All properties are serialized using the property name as the XML element name. Array elements are rendered as array-item elements, using their index/key as the value of the key attribute.

Parameters:
anyObject - the object to serialize
objectName - a name for that object

Returns:
the XML serializationj of the given object as a string
