Package org.apache.xml.security.c14n.helper

Class AttrCompare

java.lang.Object

org.apache.xml.security.c14n.helper.AttrCompare

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparator<Attr>

public class AttrCompare
extends Object
implements Comparator<Attr>, Serializable

Compares two attributes based on the C14n specification.

• Namespace nodes have a lesser document order position than attribute nodes.
• An element's namespace nodes are sorted lexicographically by local name (the default namespace node, if one exists, has no local name and is therefore lexicographically least).
• An element's attribute nodes are sorted lexicographically with namespace URI as the primary key and local name as the secondary key (an empty namespace URI is lexicographically least).
