Class PrecedingSiblingIterator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, AutoCloseable, SequenceIterator, AxisIterator

    final class PrecedingSiblingIterator
    extends Object
    implements AxisIterator
    This class supports the preceding-sibling axis. The starting node must be an element, text node, comment, or processing instruction: to ensure this, construct the enumeration using NodeInfo#getEnumeration()

      • next

        public NodeInfo next()
        Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
        Get the next item in the sequence. This method changes the state of the iterator.
        Specified by:
        next in interface AxisIterator
        Specified by:
        next in interface SequenceIterator
        Returns:
        the next item, or null if there are no more items. Once a call on next() has returned null, no further calls should be made. The preferred action for an iterator if subsequent calls on next() are made is to return null again, and all implementations within Saxon follow this rule.
