Class NormalizeSpaceFunction

Implemented Interfaces:
Function

public class NormalizeSpaceFunction
extends java.lang.Object
implements Function

4.2 string normalize-space(string)
The normalize-space function returns the argument string with whitespace normalized by stripping leading and trailing whitespace and replacing sequences of whitespace characters by a single space. Whitespace characters are the same as those allowed by the S production in XML. If the argument is omitted, it defaults to the context node converted to a string, in other words the string-value of the context node.

public NormalizeSpaceFunction()
Create a new NormalizeSpaceFunction object.

Method Details

call

public Object call(Context context,
                   List args)
            throws FunctionCallException
Returns the string-value of the first item in args after removing all leading and trailing white space, and replacing each other sequence of whitespace by a single space. Whitespace consists of the characters space (0x32), carriage return (0x0D), linefeed (0x0A), and tab (0x09).

call in interface Function
Parameters:
context - the context at the point in the expression when the function is called
args - a list that contains exactly one item
Returns:
a normalized String
Throws:
FunctionCallException - if args does not have length one

evaluate

public static String evaluate(Object strArg,
                              Navigator nav)
Returns the string-value of strArg after removing all leading and trailing white space, and replacing each other sequence of whitespace by a single space. Whitespace consists of the characters space (0x32), carriage return (0x0D), linefeed (0x0A), and tab (0x09).
Parameters:
strArg - the object whose string-value is normalized
nav - the context at the point in the expression when the function is called
Returns:
the normalized string-value

isXMLSpace

private static boolean isXMLSpace(char c)
