Code samples |
The code samples on page 116-119 appear to always check for the NodeList (of child
nodes) being null.
This is unnecessary, as the DOM Level 2 specifications state that in the event of a
Node having no children, the childNodes attribute is a NodeList containing no nodes.
(as opposed to returning null)
AUTHOR: Note that this is only unnecessary if you have a DOM Level 2
implementation. Since many legacy parsers and applications still use
DOM Level 1, and since earlier versions of JAXP (often still in use)
also use DOM Level 1, it is unsafe, in the author's opinion, to make
assumptions about a DOM Level 2 specification. Therefore, the cost of a
single null-check is negligible in relation to ensuring that this code
works with /any/ DOM implementation.
