Class EventMatcher

  • public final class EventMatcher
extends Object
    Provides utility methods useful for comparing two XMLEvent instances. These methods compare only location/type-independent information, and thus don't perform strict equality testing, which would include the event's location, schema-type and dtd-type.

    • Method Detail

      • eventsMatch

        public static boolean eventsMatch​(XMLEvent a,
                                  XMLEvent b)
        Compares two XMLEvent instances. This method delegates actual matching to the appropriate overloaded method.
        Parameters:
        a - The first event.
        b - The second event.
        Returns:
        true if the events match, false otherwise.

      • eventsMatch

        public static boolean eventsMatch​(Attribute a,
                                  Attribute b)
        Compares two Attributes, returning true if their names and values are the same.
        Parameters:
        a - The first event.
        b - The second event.
        Returns:
        true if the events match, false otherwise.

      • eventsMatch

        public static boolean eventsMatch​(Comment a,
                                  Comment b)
        Compares two Comments. This method will return true only if their text content matches.
        Parameters:
        a - The first event.
        b - The second event.
        Returns:
        true if the events match, false otherwise.

      • eventsMatch

        public static boolean eventsMatch​(DTD a,
                                  DTD b)
        Compares two DTDs. This method will return true only if their declarations are identical.
        Parameters:
        a - The first event.

                                  EndDocument b)
        Compares two EndDocuments. Because EndDocument events have no real state, two instances always match.
        Parameters:
        a - The first event.
        b - The second event.
        Returns:
        true if the events match, false otherwise.
