Struct xml::name::Name
[−]
[src]
pub struct Name<'a> { pub local_name: &'a str, pub namespace: Option<&'a str>, pub prefix: Option<&'a str>, }
Represents a qualified XML name.
A qualified name always consists at least of a local name. It can optionally contain a prefix; if it contains a prefix, it must also contain a namespace URI, but this is not enforced statically; see below. The name can contain a namespace without a prefix; in that case a default, empty prefix is assumed.
Prefixes and URIs
A qualified name with a prefix must always contain a proper namespace URI --- names with a prefix but without a namespace associated with that prefix are meaningless. However, it is impossible to obtain proper namespace URY by a prefix without a context, and such context is only available when parsing a document (or it can be constructed manually when writing a document). Tying a name to a context statically seems impractical. This may change in future, though.
Fields
local_name | A local name, e.g. |
namespace | A namespace URI, e.g. |
prefix | A name prefix, e.g. |
Methods
impl<'a> Name<'a>
fn to_owned(&self) -> OwnedName
Returns an owned variant of the qualified name.
fn local(local_name: &str) -> Name
Returns a new Name
instance representing plain local name.
fn qualified(local_name: &'a str, namespace: &'a str, prefix: Option<&'a str>) -> Name<'a>
Returns a new Name
instance representing a qualified name with or without a prefix and
with a namespace URI.
fn to_repr(&self) -> String
Returns correct XML representation of this local name and prefix.
This method is different from the autoimplemented to_string()
because it does not
include namespace URI in the result.
