public class NodeIteratorImpl
extends java.lang.Object
implements NodeIterator

DefaultNodeIterator implements a NodeIterator, which iterates a DOM tree in the expected depth first way.

The whatToShow and filter functionality is implemented as expected.

This class also has method removeNode to enable iterator "fix-up" on DOM remove. It is expected that the DOM implementation call removeNode right before the actual DOM transformation. If not called by the DOM, the client could call it before doing the removal.

Constructor Summary
`NodeIteratorImpl(DocumentImpl document, Node root, int whatToShow, NodeFilter nodeFilter, boolean entityReferenceExpansion)` Public constructor

Method Summary
`void` `detach()` Detaches the `NodeIterator` from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state.
`boolean` `getExpandEntityReferences()` Return whether children entity references are included in the iterator.
`NodeFilter` `getFilter()` Return the filter
`Node` `getRoot()` The root node of the `NodeIterator`, as specified when it was created.
`int` `getWhatToShow()` Return the whatToShow value
`Node` `nextNode()` Return the next Node in the Iterator.
`Node` `previousNode()` Return the previous Node in the Iterator.
`void` `removeNode(Node node)` Fix-up the iterator on a remove.

Constructor Detail

### NodeIteratorImpl

    public NodeIteratorImpl(DocumentImpl document,
                            Node root,
                            int whatToShow,
                            NodeFilter nodeFilter,
                            boolean entityReferenceExpansion)

  Public constructor

Method Detail

### getRoot

    public Node getRoot()

  Description copied from interface: NodeIterator
  The root node of the `NodeIterator`, as specified when it was created.
  Specified by:
    getRoot in interface NodeIterator

### getWhatToShow

    public int getWhatToShow()

  Return the whatToShow value
  Specified by:
    getWhatToShow in interface NodeIterator

### getFilter

    public NodeFilter getFilter()

  Return the filter
  Specified by:
    getFilter in interface NodeIterator

### getExpandEntityReferences

    public boolean getExpandEntityReferences()

  Return whether children entity references are included in the iterator.
  Specified by:
    getExpandEntityReferences in interface NodeIterator

### nextNode

    public Node nextNode()

  Return the next Node in the Iterator. The node is the next node in depth-first order which also passes the filter, and whatToShow. If there is no next node which passes these criteria, then return null.
  Specified by:
    nextNode in interface NodeIterator
  Tags copied from interface: NodeIterator
  Returns:
    The next `Node` in the set being iterated over, or `null` if there are no more members in that set.
  Throws:
    DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the `detach` method was invoked.

### previousNode

    public Node previousNode()

  Return the previous Node in the Iterator. The node is the next node in _backwards_ depth-first order which also passes the filter, and whatToShow.
  Specified by:
    previousNode in interface NodeIterator
  Tags copied from interface: NodeIterator
  Returns:
    The previous `Node` in the set being iterated over, or `null` if there are no more members in that set.
  Throws:
    DOMException - INVALID_STATE_ERR: Raised if this method is called after the `detach` method was invoked.

### removeNode

    public void removeNode(Node node)

  Fix-up the iterator on a remove. Called by DOM or otherwise, before an actual DOM remove.

### detach

    public void detach()

  Description copied from interface: NodeIterator
  Detaches the `NodeIterator` from the set which it iterated over, releasing any computational resources and placing the iterator in the INVALID state. After `detach` has been invoked, calls to `nextNode` or `previousNode` will raise the exception INVALID_STATE_ERR.
  Specified by:
    detach in interface NodeIterator
