| <body> |
| |
| This package contains classes and interfaces that provide a syntactic |
| representation of MXML as tags and attributes, without any semantic |
| understanding of what those tags and attributes mean in MXML. |
| |
| <p> |
| The main class is <code>MXMLData</code>, which represents an entire MXML file. |
| The content of the file is represented as a list of <code>MXMLUnitData</code> |
| objects representing <i>MXML units</i>, but there are APIs which allows the |
| linear list of units to be accessed as a hierarchy of tags that contain other |
| tags. |
| <p> |
| |
| </p> |
| There are three types of <i>MXML units</i>: |
| <ul> |
| <li>An <code>MXMLInstructionData</code> unit represents a processing instruction |
| such as <code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?></code>.</li> |
| <li>An <code>MXMLTagData</code> unit represents an <i>open tag</i> |
| like <code><Button></code>, a <i>close tag</i> like |
| <code></Button></code>, or an <i>empty tag</i> like |
| <code><Button/></code>. |
| The attributes of an open tag or an empty tag are represented by |
| <code>MXMLTagAttributeData</code> objects.</li> |
| <li>An <code>MXMLTextData</code> unit represents character data such as |
| regular text, whitespace, a CDATA block, or a comment.</li>. |
| </ul> |
