A TreeModel represents an implementation of the Saxon NodeInfo interface, which itself
is essentially an implementation of the XDM model defined in W3C specifications (except
that Saxon's NodeInfo understands the 13 XPath axes, rather than merely supporting
parent and child properties).
This class serves two purposes: it acts as a factory for obtaining a Builder which can be used to build trees using this tree model; and it provides static constants that can be used to identify the built-in tree models.

Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionint
Get the integer constant used to identify this tree model in some legacy interfacesstatic TreeModel
getTreeModel
(int symbolicValue) Get the tree model corresponding to a given integer constantboolean
Ask whether this tree model supports updating (that is, whether the nodes in the constructed tree will implementMutableNodeInfo
, which is necessary if they are to support XQuery Update.abstract Builder
Make a Builder to construct an instance of this tree model from a stream of events
-
Field Details
-
TINY_TREE
The TinyTree implementation. This is normally the default implementation of the tree model. -
TINY_TREE_CONDENSED
The CondensedTinyTree implementation. This is a variant of the TinyTree that uses less memory but takes a little longer to build. Run-time performance is the same as the TinyTree. -
LINKED_TREE
The LinkedTree. This takes more memory than the TinyTree. The main advantage of this model is that it is updateable: the nodes in a LinkedTree can be modified using XQuery Updates.

makeBuilder
Make a Builder to construct an instance of this tree model from a stream of events- Returns:
- a newly created Builder @param pipe
-
getSymbolicValue
public int getSymbolicValue()Get the integer constant used to identify this tree model in some legacy interfaces- Returns:
- an integer constant used to identify the model, for example
Builder.TINY_TREE
-
getTreeModel
Get the tree model corresponding to a given integer constant- Parameters:
symbolicValue
- one of the constantsBuilder.TINY_TREE
,Builder.TINY_TREE_CONDENSED
, orBuilder.LINKED_TREE
- Returns:
- the corresponding TreeModel
-
isMutable
public boolean isMutable()Ask whether this tree model supports updating (that is, whether the nodes in the constructed tree will implementMutableNodeInfo
, which is necessary if they are to support XQuery Update. This method can be overridden in subclasses; the default implementation returns false.- Returns:
- true if the tree model implementation supports updating, that is, if its nodes support the MutableNodeInfo interface.
