Class XMLCharacterData

    public class XMLCharacterData

extends Object

This module contains data regarding the classification of characters in XML 1.0 and XML 1.1, and a number of interrogative methods to support queries on this data. For characters in the BMP, the information is tabulated by means of an array of one-byte entries, one for each character, with bit-significant property settings. For characters outside the BMP, the rules are built in to the interrogative methods.

Field Summary
`static int` `MAX_XML11_NAME_CHAR` Maximum code point for a character permitted in an XML 1.1 name
`static byte` `NAME_10_MASK` Bit setting to indicate that a character is valid in an XML 1.0 name
`static byte` `NAME_11_MASK` Bit setting to indicate that a character is valid in an XML 1.1 name
`static byte` `NAME_START_10_MASK` Bit setting to indicate that a character is valid at the start of an XML 1.0 name
`static byte` `NAME_START_11_MASK` Bit setting to indicate that a character is valid at the start of an XML 1.1 name
`static byte` `VALID_10_MASK` Bit setting to indicate that a character is valid in XML 1.0
`static byte` `VALID_11_MASK` Bit setting to indicate that a character is valid in XML 1.1

Constructor Summary
`XMLCharacterData()`

### isNCName10

    public static boolean isNCName10(int i)

  Determine whether a character is valid in an NCName in XML 1.0

  Parameters:
    `i` - the character
  Returns:
    true if the character is valid in an NCName in XML 1.0

### isNCNameStart10

    public static boolean isNCNameStart10(int i)

  Determine whether a character is valid at the start of an NCName in XML 1.0

### getCategory

    public static IntRangeSet getCategory(byte mask)

  Get all the characters in a given category, as an integer set. This must be one of the four name classes: Name characters or Name Start characters in XML 1.0 or XML 1.1. (This method is used to populate the data tables used by the regular expression translators)

  Parameters:
    `mask` - identifies the properties of the required category
  Returns:
    the set of characters in the given category.
