package net.sf.saxon.tree.iter
This package defines implementations and subinterfaces of the interface SequenceIterator, which is used to iterate over an XDM sequence.
The subinterfaces mostly represent iterators with additional capability: for example a LastPositionFinder can determine the number of items in the sequence without reading to the end; a GroundedIterator can deliver the original sequence as a list in memory; a LookaheadIterator is capable of one-item look-ahead. Note that just because a class implements such an interface does not mean it necessarily has this capability; it is necessary to check the properties of the specific iterator before assuming this.

ClassDescriptionAdjacentTextNodeMergingIterator is an iterator that eliminates zero-length text nodes and merges adjacent text nodes from the underlying iteratorArrayIterator<T extends Item>ArrayIterator is used to enumerate items held in an array.AtomizingIterator returns the atomization of an underlying sequence supplied as an iterator.AxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>A SequenceIterator is used to iterate over a sequence.A SequenceIterator is used to iterate over a sequence.AxisIteratorOverSequence<T extends NodeInfo>This class wraps any SequenceIterator as an AxisIterator.EmptyAxisIterator<T extends NodeInfo>An AxisIterator over an empty sequenceEmptyIterator<T extends Item>EmptyIterator: an iterator over an empty sequence.GroundedIterator<T extends Item>This interface is an extension to the SequenceIterator interface; it represents a SequenceIterator that is based on an in-memory representation of a sequence, and that is therefore capable of returned a SequenceValue containing all the items in the sequence.An iterator that returns the same items as its base iterator, checking to see that they are either all nodes, or all non-nodes; if they are all nodes, it delivers them in document order.IteratorIterator<T extends Item>A SequenceIterator that wraps a Java Iterator.ListIterator<T extends Item>Class ListIterator, iterates over a sequence of items held in a Java ListLookaheadIterator<T extends Item>A SequenceIterator is used to iterate over a sequence.This class wraps any sequence iterator, turning it into a lookahead iterator, by looking ahead one itemAn AxisIterator that wraps a Java Iterator.NodeWrappingFunction<B,
T extends NodeInfo> Interface to a function that wraps nodes from an external object model in a Saxon NodeInfo representationAn iterator over nodes, that prepends a given node to the nodes returned by another iterator.ReverseArrayIterator<T extends Item>ReverseArrayIterator is used to enumerate items held in an array in reverse order.ReversibleIterator<T extends Item>A ReversibleIterator is an interface implemented by any SequenceIterator that is able to deliver items in reverse order (or to supply another iterator that can do so).SingletonIterator: an iterator over a sequence of zero or one valuesSingletonIterator<T extends Item>SingletonIterator: an iterator over a sequence of zero or one valuesUnfailingIterator<T extends Item>A SequenceIterator is used to iterate over a sequence.Class UnparsedTextIterator, iterates over a file line by lineUntypedAtomizingIterator<B extends Item>AtomizingIterator returns the atomization of an underlying sequence supplied as an iterator.
