Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Object`	`getData()`	Accesses the data of this attribute which may implement data typing bindings such as `XML Schema` or `Java Bean` bindings or will return the same value as `Node.getText()`.
`Element`	`getParent()`	`getParent` returns the parent `Element` if this node supports the parent relationship or null if it is the root element or does not support the parent relationship.
`QName`	`getQName()`	Returns the `QName` of this attribute which represents the local name, the qualified name and the `Namespace`.
`String`	`getValue()`	Returns the value of the attribute.
`void`	`setData(Object data)`	Sets the data value of this attribute if this element supports data binding or calls `Node.setText(String)`if it doesn't.
`void`	`setValue(String data)`	Sets the value of this attribute or this method will throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` if it is read-only.

- Method Detail
  - getQName
```
public QName getQName()
```
    Description copied from interface: Attribute
    
    Returns the QName of this attribute which represents the local name, the qualified name and the Namespace.
    
    Returns:
    
    the QName associated with this attribute
  - getParent
```
public Element getParent()
```
    Description copied from interface: Node
    
    getParent returns the parent Element if this node supports the parent relationship or null if it is the root element or does not support the parent relationship.
    
    This method is an optional feature and may not be supported for all Node implementations.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParent in interface Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    getParent in class AbstractNode
    
    Returns:
    
    the parent of this node or null if it is the root of the tree or the parent relationship is not supported.
  - getValue
```
public String getValue()
```
    Description copied from interface: Attribute
    
    Returns the value of the attribute. This method returns the same value as the Node.getText()method.
    
    Returns:
    
    the value of the attribute
  - setValue
```
public void setValue(String data)
```
    Description copied from interface: Attribute
    
    Sets the value of this attribute or this method will throw an UnsupportedOperationException if it is read-only.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setValue in interface Attribute
    
    Overrides:
    
    setValue in class AbstractAttribute
    
    Parameters:
    
    data - is the new value of this attribute
  - getData
```
public Object getData()
```
    Description copied from interface: Attribute
    
    Accesses the data of this attribute which may implement data typing bindings such as XML Schema or Java Bean bindings or will return the same value as Node.getText().
    
    Specified by:
    
    getData in interface Attribute
    
    Overrides:
    
    getData in class AbstractAttribute
    
    Returns:
    
    the attribute data
  - setData
```
public void setData(Object data)
```
    Description copied from interface: Attribute
    
    Sets the data value of this attribute if this element supports data binding or calls Node.setText(String)if it doesn't.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setData in interface Attribute
    
    Overrides:
    
    setData in class AbstractAttribute
