- - ### Method Detail

    - #### getInstance

          public static DefaultNamespaceContext getInstance()

      Returns the one and only instance of this class.

    - #### getNamespaceURI

          public java.lang.String getNamespaceURI(java.lang.String prefix)

      Description copied from interface: `javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext`

      Get Namespace URI bound to a prefix in the current scope.

      When requesting a Namespace URI by prefix, the following table describes the returned Namespace URI value for all possible prefix values:

      `getNamespaceURI(prefix)` return value for specified prefixes
      prefix parameter | Namespace URI return value
      `DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX` ("") | default Namespace URI in the current scope or ``XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI("")`` when there is no default Namespace URI in the current scope
      bound prefix | Namespace URI bound to prefix in current scope
      unbound prefix | ``XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI("")``
      `XMLConstants.XML_NS_PREFIX` ("xml") | `XMLConstants.XML_NS_URI` ("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace")
      `XMLConstants.XMLNS_ATTRIBUTE` ("xmlns") | `XMLConstants.XMLNS_ATTRIBUTE_NS_URI` ("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")
      `null` | `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown

      Specified by:
        `getNamespaceURI` in interface `javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext`
      Parameters:
        `prefix` - prefix to look up
      Returns:
        Namespace URI bound to prefix in the current scope

    - #### getPrefix

          public java.lang.String getPrefix(java.lang.String namespaceURI)

      Description copied from interface: `javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext`

      Get prefix bound to Namespace URI in the current scope.

      To get all prefixes bound to a Namespace URI in the current scope, use `NamespaceContext.getPrefixes(String namespaceURI)`.

      When requesting a prefix by Namespace URI, the following table describes the returned prefix value for all Namespace URI values:

      `getPrefix(namespaceURI)` return value for specified Namespace URIs
      Namespace URI parameter | prefix value returned
      <default Namespace URI> | `XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX` ("")
      bound Namespace URI | prefix bound to Namespace URI in the current scope, if multiple prefixes are bound to the Namespace URI in the current scope, a single arbitrary prefix, whose choice is implementation dependent, is returned
      unbound Namespace URI | `null`
      `XMLConstants.XML_NS_URI` ("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace") | `XMLConstants.XML_NS_PREFIX` ("xml")
      `XMLConstants.XMLNS_ATTRIBUTE_NS_URI` ("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/") | `XMLConstants.XMLNS_ATTRIBUTE` ("xmlns")
      `null` | `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown

      Specified by:
        `getPrefix` in interface `javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext`
      Parameters:
        `namespaceURI` - URI of Namespace to lookup
      Returns:
        prefix bound to Namespace URI in current context

    - #### getPrefixes

          public java.util.Iterator getPrefixes(java.lang.String namespaceURI)

      Description copied from interface: `javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext`

      Get all prefixes bound to a Namespace URI in the current scope.

      An Iterator over String elements is returned in an arbitrary, implementation dependent, order.

      The `Iterator` is not modifiable. e.g. the `remove()` method will throw `UnsupportedOperationException`.

      When requesting prefixes by Namespace URI, the following table describes the returned prefixes value for all Namespace URI values:

      `getPrefixes(namespaceURI)` return value for specified Namespace URIs
      Namespace URI parameter | prefixes value returned
      bound Namespace URI, including the <default Namespace URI> | `Iterator` over prefixes bound to Namespace URI in the current scope in an arbitrary, implementation dependent, order
      unbound Namespace URI | empty `Iterator`
      `XMLConstants.XML_NS_URI` ("http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace") | `Iterator` with one element set to `XMLConstants.XML_NS_PREFIX` ("xml")
      `XMLConstants.XMLNS_ATTRIBUTE_NS_URI` ("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/") | `Iterator` with one element set to `XMLConstants.XMLNS_ATTRIBUTE` ("xmlns")
      `null` | `IllegalArgumentException` is thrown

      Specified by:
        `getPrefixes` in interface `javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext`
      Parameters:
        `namespaceURI` - URI of Namespace to lookup
      Returns:
        `Iterator` for all prefixes bound to the Namespace URI in the current scope
