interface IDocumentNode in Tinman.Core.Document

Base interface for nodes in a text document.

interface	IDocumentNode	extends	ICodeOutput
			ISerializable
			IValidatable
		base of	DocumentNode
			IBlockNode
			IConfigDocNode
			IContentNode
			IInlineNode

Attributes

IsEmpty

Is this document node empty (i.e. it contains whitespace only)?

property	IsEmpty { get }
type	bool
value		true if this document node is empty, false if not.

SerialType

Returns the serial type of this object.

property	SerialType { get }
type	ISerialTypeInfo
value	[not-null]	The serial type.
inherited	ISerializable.SerialType

SerialVersion

Returns the serial data version.

property	SerialVersion { get }
type	int32
value	[>=1]	The serial data version tag.
inherited	ISerializable.SerialVersion

Remarks:

An ISerializable implementation is required to support all versions up to the one returned by SerialVersion.

Methods

Accept

Accepts the given node visitor.

method	Accept (IDocumentNodeVisitor visitor, object userData)
params	visitor		The visitor to accept. If null the method shall return silently.
	userData		Optional user data object.

Deserialize

Initializes the state of this object from the given data stream.

method	Deserialize (int32 serialVersion, ISerializer data)
type	ISerializable
params	serialVersion	[>=1]	The serial data version.
	data	[not-null]	The serial data stream.
returns		[not-null]	The deserialized object. This will typically be this, but in some circumstances, another instance may be returned (e.g. singletons).
inherited	ISerializable.Deserialize

Remarks:

The Deserialize method will be called immediately after the object has been instantiated via its default constructor.

The provided serialVersion number is guaranteed to be equal to or less than the SerialVersion returned by this object (i.e. ISerializable object must provide backwards compatibility).

method	Serialize (ISerializer data)
