It represents a single node in the document tree. While all objects implementing the XMLNodeMBS interface expose methods for dealing with children, not all objects implementing the XMLNodeMBS interface may have children. For example, XMLTextMBS nodes may not have children, and adding children to such nodes results in a XMLExceptionMBS being raised.
The attributes nodeName, nodeValue and attributes are included as a mechanism to get at node information without casting down to the specific derived interface. In cases where there is no obvious mapping of these attributes for a specific nodeType (e.g., nodeValue for an XMLElementMBS or attributes for a XMLCommentMBS), this returns nil. Note that the specialized interfaces may contain additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant information.
This is an abstract class. You can't create an instance, but you can get one from various plugin functions.

- 18 constants
Document Positions
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DocumentPositionContainedBy | 16 |
The node is contained by the reference node. A node which is contained is always following, too. |
| DocumentPositionContains | 8 |
The node contains the reference node. A node which contains is always preceding, too. |
| DocumentPositionDisconnected | 1 |
The two nodes are disconnected. Order between disconnected nodes is always implementation-specific. |
| DocumentPositionFollowing | 4 |
The node follows the reference node. |
| DocumentPositionImplementationSpecific | 32 |
The determination of preceding versus following is implementation-specific. |
| DocumentPositionPreceding | 2 |
The second node precedes the reference node. |
