public interface SteppingNode extends NodeInfo
This interface can be implemented by an implementation of NodeInfo to take advantage of a generic implementation of the descendant axis found in class SteppingNavigator
  • Method Details

    • getParent

      SteppingNode getParent()
      Get the parent of this node
      Specified by:
      getParent in interface NodeInfo
      Returns:
      the parent of this node; or null if it is the root of the tree
    • getNextSibling

      SteppingNode getNextSibling()
      Get the next sibling of this node
      Returns:
      the next sibling if there is one, or null otherwise
    • getPreviousSibling

      SteppingNode getPreviousSibling()
      Get the previous sibling of this node
      Returns:
      the previous sibling if there is one, or null otherwise
    • getFirstChild

      SteppingNode getFirstChild()
      Get the first child of this node
      Returns:
      the first child if there is one, or null otherwise
    • getSuccessorElement

      SteppingNode getSuccessorElement(SteppingNode anchor, NamespaceUri uri, String local)
      Find the next matching element in document order; that is, the first child element with the required name if there is one; otherwise the next sibling element if there is one; otherwise the next sibling element of the parent, grandparent, etc, up to the anchor element.
      Parameters:
      anchor - the root of the tree within which navigation is confined
      uri - the required namespace URI, or null if any namespace is acceptable
      local - the required local name, or null if any local name is acceptable
      Returns:
      the next element after this one in document order, with the given URI and local name if specified, or null if this is the last node in the document, or the last node within the subtree being navigated
