  - Node
```
protected Node()
```
    Default constructor. Doesn't setup base uri, children, or attributes; use with caution.
- Method Detail
  - nodeName
```
public abstract java.lang.String nodeName()
```
    Get the node name of this node. Use for debugging purposes and not logic switching (for that, use instanceof).
    
    Returns:
    
    node name
  - hasAttributes
```
protected abstract boolean hasAttributes()
```
    Check if this Node has an actual Attributes object.

```
  - attr
```
public java.lang.String attr(java.lang.String attributeKey)
```
    Get an attribute's value by its key. Case insensitive
    To get an absolute URL from an attribute that may be a relative URL, prefix the key with abs, which is a shortcut to the absUrl(java.lang.String) method.
    E.g.:
    String url = a.attr("abs:href");
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeKey - The attribute key.
    
    Returns:
    
    The attribute, or empty string if not present (to avoid nulls).
    
    See Also:
    
    attributes(), hasAttr(String), absUrl(String)
  - attributes
```
public abstract Attributes attributes()
```
    Get all of the element's attributes.
    
    Returns:
    
    attributes (which implements iterable, in same order as presented in original HTML).
  - attr
```
public Node attr(java.lang.String attributeKey,
                 java.lang.String attributeValue)
```
    Set an attribute (key=value). If the attribute already exists, it is replaced. The attribute key comparison is case insensitive.
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeKey - The attribute key.
    
    attributeValue - The attribute value.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for chaining)
  - hasAttr
```
public boolean hasAttr(java.lang.String attributeKey)
```
    Test if this element has an attribute. Case insensitive
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeKey - The attribute key to check.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the attribute exists, false if not.

    attributeKey - The attribute to remove.
    
    Returns:
    
    this (for chaining)
  - clearAttributes
```
public Node clearAttributes()
```
    Clear (remove) all of the attributes in this node.
    
    Returns:
    
    this, for chaining
  - baseUri
```
public abstract java.lang.String baseUri()
```
    Get the base URI of this node.
    
    Returns:
    
    base URI
  - doSetBaseUri
```
protected abstract void doSetBaseUri(java.lang.String baseUri)
```
    Set the baseUri for just this node (not its descendants), if this Node tracks base URIs.
    
    Parameters:
    
    baseUri - new URI
  - setBaseUri
```
public void setBaseUri(java.lang.String baseUri)
```
    Update the base URI of this node and all of its descendants.
    
    Parameters:
    
    baseUri - base URI to set
  - absUrl
```
public java.lang.String absUrl(java.lang.String attributeKey)
```
    Get an absolute URL from a URL attribute that may be relative (i.e. an <a href> or <img src>).
    E.g.: String absUrl = linkEl.absUrl("href");
    
    If the attribute value is already absolute (i.e. it starts with a protocol, like http:// or https:// etc), and it successfully parses as a URL, the attribute is returned directly. Otherwise, it is treated as a URL relative to the element's baseUri(), and made absolute using that.
    
    As an alternate, you can use the attr(java.lang.String) method with the abs: prefix, e.g.: String absUrl = linkEl.attr("abs:href");
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeKey - The attribute key
    
    Returns:
    
    An absolute URL if one could be made, or an empty string (not null) if the attribute was missing or could not be made successfully into a URL.
    
    See Also:
    
    attr(java.lang.String), URL.URL(java.net.URL, String)
