 public interface DocumentType extends Node EachDocumenthas adoctypeattribute whose value is eithernullor aDocumentTypeobject. TheDocumentTypeinterface in the DOM Core provides an interface to the list of entities that are defined for the document, and little else because the effect of namespaces and the various XML schema efforts on DTD representation are not clearly understood as of this writing.DOM Level 3 doesn't support editing DocumentTypenodes.DocumentTypenodes are read-only.See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Method Detail- 
getNameString getName() The name of DTD; i.e., the name immediately following theDOCTYPEkeyword.
 - 
getEntitiesNamedNodeMap getEntities() ANamedNodeMapcontaining the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. Parameter entities are not contained. Duplicates are discarded. For example in:<!DOCTYPE ex SYSTEM "ex.dtd" [ <!ENTITY foo "foo"> <!ENTITY bar "bar"> <!ENTITY bar "bar2"> <!ENTITY % baz "baz"> ]> <ex/> the interface provides access tofooand the first declaration ofbarbut not the second declaration ofbarorbaz. Every node in this map also implements theEntityinterface.
 The DOM Level 2 does not support editing entities, thereforeentitiescannot be altered in any way.
 - 
getNotationsNamedNodeMap getNotations() ANamedNodeMapcontaining the notations declared in the DTD. Duplicates are discarded. Every node in this map also implements theNotationinterface.
 The DOM Level 2 does not support editing notations, thereforenotationscannot be altered in any way.
 - 
getPublicIdString getPublicId() The public identifier of the external subset.- Since:
- 1.4, DOM Level 2
 
 - 
getSystemIdString getSystemId() The system identifier of the external subset. This may be an absolute URI or not.- Since:
- 1.4, DOM Level 2
 
 - 
getInternalSubsetString getInternalSubset() The internal subset as a string, ornullif there is none. This is does not contain the delimiting square brackets.Note: The actual content returned depends on how much information is available to the implementation. This may vary depending on various parameters, including the XML processor used to build the document. - Since:
- 1.4, DOM Level 2
