org.jplate.foundation.node
Interface NodeIfc<BC,LC>

Type Parameters:

BC - The branch context representing data type stored in branches.

LC - The leaf context representing data type stored in leaves.

All Superinterfaces:

FormattableIfc, java.io.Serializable, VisitableIfc<NodeVisitorIfc<BC,LC>>

All Known Subinterfaces:

BranchNodeIfc<BC,LC>, LeafNodeIfc<BC,LC>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractNode, DefaultBranchNode, DefaultLeafNode

public interface NodeIfc<BC,LC>
extends java.io.Serializable, FormattableIfc, VisitableIfc<NodeVisitorIfc<BC,LC>>

Defines a node and represents the base interface for all nodes. All nodes have a parent (represented by a BranchNodeIfc) and can be visited by a NodeVisitorIfc.
