features of the DOM implementation.</p>
<p>This class describes the features that are supported by the DOM
implementation. Currently the XML subset of DOM Level 1 and DOM
Level 2 Core are supported.</p>
<p>Normally you will use the function <a href="qdomdocument.html#implementation">QDomDocument.implementation</a>()
to get the implementation object.</p>
<p>You can create a new document type with <a href="qdomimplementation.html#createDocumentType">createDocumentType</a>()
and a new document with <a href="qdomimplementation.html#createDocument">createDocument</a>().</p>
<p>For further information about the Document Object Model see
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/">Level 1</a> and
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/">Level 2 Core</a>.
For a more general introduction of the DOM implementation see the
<a href="qdomdocument.html">QDomDocument</a> documentation.</p>
<p>The QDom classes have a few issues of nonconformance with the
XML specifications that cannot be fixed in Qt 4 without breaking
backward compatibility. The <a href="qtxmlpatterns.html">QtXmlPatterns</a> module and the <a href="qxmlstreamreader.html">QXmlStreamReader</a> and <a href="qxmlstreamwriter.html">QXmlStreamWriter</a> classes have a higher
degree of a conformance.</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="InvalidDataPolicy-enum" />QDomImplementation.InvalidDataPolicy</h3><p>This enum specifies what should be done when a factory function
in <a href="qdomdocument.html">QDomDocument</a> is called with
invalid data.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="QDomImplementation-2" />QDomImplementation.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qdomimplementation.html">QDomImplementation</a>)</h3><p>Constructs a copy of <i>x</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="createDocument" /><a href="qdomdocument.html">QDomDocument</a> QDomImplementation.createDocument (<i>self</i>, QString <i>nsURI</i>, QString <i>qName</i>, <a href="qdomdocumenttype.html">QDomDocumentType</a> <i>doctype</i>)</h3><p>Creates a DOM document with the document type <i>doctype</i>.
This function also adds a root element node with the qualified name
<i>qName</i> and the namespace URI <i>nsURI</i>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="createDocumentType" /><a href="qdomdocumenttype.html">QDomDocumentType</a> QDomImplementation.createDocumentType (<i>self</i>, QString <i>qName</i>, QString <i>publicId</i>, QString <i>systemId</i>)</h3><p>Creates a document type node for the name <i>qName</i>.</p>
<p><i>publicId</i> specifies the public identifier of the external
subset. If you specify an empty string (QString()) as the
<i>publicId</i>, this means that the document type has no public
identifier.</p>
<p><i>systemId</i> specifies the system identifier of the external
subset. If you specify an empty string as the <i>systemId</i>, this
means that the document type has no system identifier.</p>
<p>Since you cannot have a public identifier without a system
identifier, the public identifier is set to an empty string if
there is no system identifier.</p>
<p>DOM level 2 does not support any other document type declaration
features.</p>
<p>The only way you can use a document type that was created this
way, is in combination with the <a href="qdomimplementation.html#createDocument">createDocument</a>()
function to create a <a href="qdomdocument.html">QDomDocument</a>
with this document type.</p>
<p>In the DOM specification, this is the only way to create a
non-null document. For historical reasons, Qt also allows to create
the document using the default empty constructor. The resulting
document is null, but becomes non-null when a factory function, for
example <a href="qdomdocument.html#createElement">QDomDocument.createElement</a>(),
is called. The document also becomes non-null when setContent() is
called.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="hasFeature" />bool QDomImplementation.hasFeature (<i>self</i>, QString <i>feature</i>, QString <i>version</i>)</h3><p>The function returns true if QDom implements the requested
<i>version</i> of a <i>feature</i>; otherwise returns false.</p>
