getNode

Node getNode(int index)

Get a specific node from the list

removeNode

Node removeNode(int index)

Remove a node from the list

Returns:

The removed node.

removeNode

boolean removeNode(Node node)

Remove a node from the list

Returns:

true, if the node is in the list

clearNodes

Parent clearNodes()

Remove all nodes

getNodes

java.util.List<Node> getNodes()

Get the list of child nodes.

CAUTION: Changes to this list will modify the actual data structure! So don't do this unless you know what you're doing!

nodeIndexOf

int nodeIndexOf(Node node)

The index of the node in the node list or -1 if it isn't in the list

nodeCount

int nodeCount()

The number of nodes in the list

hasNodes

boolean hasNodes()

Does this node have children?

getChild

Element getChild(java.lang.String path)

Find a child element (not a node!) by path
