このセクションは、XMLリソースに関する規則についてのみ説明する。text/html
リソースに関する規則は、"HTML構文"と題された前述のセクションで説明される。
XHTML文書であれ他のXML文書に埋め込まれるものであれ、XMLとともにHTMLを使用するための構文は、XMLおよびXML名前空間仕様で定義される。[XML] [XMLNS]
この仕様は、XMLに対して完全に定義されるものを超えるいかなる構文レベルの要件も定義しない。
XML文書は必要に応じてDOCTYPE
が含んでもよいが、DOCTYPEはこの仕様に準拠する必要はない。この仕様は、公開またはシステム識別子を定義せず、公式なDTDも提供しない。
XML仕様によれば、XMLプロセッサはDOCTYPEで参照される外部DTDサブセットを処理することを保証しない。たとえば、(<
、>
、&
、"
、'
を除く)実体参照が外部ファイルで定義される場合、これは、XHTML文書で文字に対して実体参照を使用することが危険であることを意味する。
This section describes the relationship between XML and the DOM, with a particular emphasis on how this interacts with HTML.
An XML parser, for the purposes of this specification, is a construct that follows
the rules given in the XML specification to map a string of bytes or characters into a
Document
object.
At the time of writing, no such rules actually exist.
An XML parser is either associated with a Document
object when it is
created, or creates one implicitly.
This Document
must then be populated with DOM nodes that represent the tree
structure of the input passed to the parser, as defined by the XML specification, the Namespaces
in XML specification, and the DOM specification. DOM mutation events must not fire for the
operations that the XML parser performs on the Document
's tree, but the
user agent must act as if elements and attributes were individually appended and set respectively
so as to trigger rules in this specification regarding what happens when an element is inserted
into a document or has its attributes set, and the DOM specification's requirements regarding
mutation observers mean that mutation observers are fired (unlike mutation events). [XML] [XMLNS] [DOM] [DOMEVENTS]
Between the time an element's start tag is parsed and the time either the element's end tag is parsed or the parser detects a well-formedness error, the user agent must act as if the element was in a stack of open elements.
This is used by the object
element to avoid instantiating plugins
before the param
element children have been parsed.
This specification provides the following additional information that user agents should use when retrieving an external entity: the public identifiers given in the following list all correspond to the URL given by this link. (This URL is a DTD containing the entity declarations for the names listed in the named character references section.) [XML]
-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN
-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN
-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN
-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN
-//W3C//DTD XHTML Basic 1.0//EN
-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN
-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0 plus SVG 1.1//EN
-//W3C//DTD MathML 2.0//EN
-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN
Furthermore, user agents should attempt to retrieve the above external entity's content when one of the above public identifiers is used, and should not attempt to retrieve any other external entity's content.
This is not strictly a violation of the XML specification, but it does contradict the spirit of the XML specification's requirements. This is motivated by a desire for user agents to all handle entities in an interoperable fashion without requiring any network access for handling external subsets. [XML]
When an XML parser creates a script
element, it
must be marked as being "parser-inserted" and its "force-async" flag
must be unset. If the parser was originally created for the XML fragment parsing
algorithm, then the element must be marked as "already started" also. When the
element's end tag is parsed, the user agent must perform a microtask checkpoint, and
then prepare the script
element. If this
causes there to be a pending parsing-blocking script, then the user agent must run
the following steps:
Block this instance of the XML parser, such that the event loop will not run tasks that invoke it.
Spin the event loop until the parser's Document
has no
style sheet that is blocking scripts and the pending parsing-blocking
script's "ready to be parser-executed" flag is set.
Unblock this instance of the XML parser, such that tasks that invoke it can again be run.
There is no longer a pending parsing-blocking script.
Since the document.write()
API is not
available for XML documents, much of the complexity in the HTML parser
is not needed in the XML parser.
When an XML parser would append a node to a
template
element, it must instead append it to the template
element's
template contents (a DocumentFragment
node).
This is a willful violation of the XML specification; unfortunately,
XML is not formally extensible in the manner that is needed for template
processing.
[XML]
When an XML parser creates a Node
object, its ownerDocument
must be set to the Document
of
the node into which the newly created node is to be inserted.
Certain algorithms in this specification spoon-feed the parser characters one string at a time. In such cases, the XML parser must act as it would have if faced with a single string consisting of the concatenation of all those characters.
When an XML parser reaches the end of its input, it must stop parsing, following the same rules as the HTML parser. An XML parser can also be aborted, which must again by done in the same way as for an HTML parser.
For the purposes of conformance checkers, if a resource is determined to be in the XHTML syntax, then it is an XML document.
The XML fragment serialization algorithm for a Document
or
Element
node either returns a fragment of XML that represents that node or throws an
exception.
For Document
s, the algorithm must return a string in the form of a document entity, if none of the error cases
below apply.
For Element
s, the algorithm must return a string in the form of an internal general parsed entity, if none of the
error cases below apply.
In both cases, the string returned must be XML namespace-well-formed and must be an isomorphic
serialization of all of that node's relevant child nodes, in tree order.
User agents may adjust prefixes and namespace declarations in the serialization (and indeed might
be forced to do so in some cases to obtain namespace-well-formed XML). User agents may use a
combination of regular text and character references to represent Text
nodes in the
DOM.
A node's relevant child nodes are those that apply given the following rules:
template
elementstemplate
element's template contents, if any.For Element
s, if any of the elements in the serialization are in no namespace, the
default namespace in scope for those elements must be explicitly declared as the empty string. (This doesn't apply in the Document
case.) [XML]
[XMLNS]
For the purposes of this section, an internal general parsed entity is considered XML namespace-well-formed if a document consisting of an element with no namespace declarations whose contents are the internal general parsed entity would itself be XML namespace-well-formed.
If any of the following error cases are found in the DOM subtree being serialized, then the
algorithm must throw an InvalidStateError
exception instead of returning a
string:
Document
node with no child element nodes.DocumentType
node that has an external subset public identifier that contains
characters that are not matched by the XML PubidChar
production. [XML]DocumentType
node that has an external subset system identifier that contains
both a """ (U+0022) and a "'" (U+0027) or that contains characters that are
not matched by the XML Char
production. [XML]Name
production. [XML]Attr
node with no namespace whose local name is the lowercase string "xmlns
". [XMLNS]Element
node with two or more attributes with the same local name and
namespace.Attr
node, Text
node, Comment
node, or
ProcessingInstruction
node whose data contains characters that are not matched by
the XML Char
production. [XML]Comment
node whose data contains two adjacent U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS characters
(-) or ends with such a character.ProcessingInstruction
node whose target name is an ASCII
case-insensitive match for the string "xml
".ProcessingInstruction
node whose target name contains a ":" (U+003A).ProcessingInstruction
node whose data contains the string "?>
".These are the only ways to make a DOM unserializable. The DOM enforces all the
other XML constraints; for example, trying to append two elements to a Document
node
will throw a HierarchyRequestError
exception.
When the algorithm must produce a serialization of a template
element, the string
returned must contain a serialization of the child nodes of the template element's content
DocumentFragment
, rather than the
template
element's children.
The XML fragment parsing algorithm either returns a Document
or throws
a SyntaxError
exception. Given a string input and an optional
context element context, the algorithm is as
follows:
Create a new XML parser.
If there is a context element, feed the parser just created the string corresponding to the start tag of that element, declaring all the namespace prefixes that are in scope on that element in the DOM, as well as declaring the default namespace (if any) that is in scope on that element in the DOM.
A namespace prefix is in scope if the DOM lookupNamespaceURI()
method
on the element would return a non-null value for that prefix.
The default namespace is the namespace for which the DOM isDefaultNamespace()
method on the element would return true.
If there is a context element, no
DOCTYPE
is passed to the parser, and therefore no external subset is
referenced, and therefore no entities will be recognized.
Feed the parser just created the string input.
If there is a context element, feed the parser just created the string corresponding to the end tag of that element.
If there is an XML well-formedness or XML namespace well-formedness error, then throw a
SyntaxError
exception and abort these steps.
If there is a context element, and the root
element of the resulting Document
has any sibling nodes, then throw a
SyntaxError
exception and abort these steps.
If there is a context element, then return the
child nodes of the root element of the resulting Document
, in tree
order.
Otherwise, return the children of the Document
object, in tree
order.
