An iterator over a sequence of events
-
Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionboolean
Determine whether the EventIterator returns a flat sequence of events, or whether it can return nested event iteratorsnext()
Get the next event in the sequence
-
Method Details
-
next
Get the next event in the sequence- Returns:
- the next event, or null when the sequence is exhausted. Note that since an EventIterator is itself a PullEvent, this method may return a nested iterator.
- Throws:
XPathException
- if a dynamic evaluation error occurs
-
isFlatSequence
boolean isFlatSequence()Determine whether the EventIterator returns a flat sequence of events, or whether it can return nested event iterators- Returns:
- true if the next() method is guaranteed never to return an EventIterator
