Constructor Detail

Token

public Token(java.lang.String text)

Create a new token.

Parameters:

text - The text.

Method Detail

isToken

public boolean isToken()

Description copied from class: Node

Determine whether this node is a token. User-specified classes must not override this method.

Overrides:

isToken in class Node

Returns:

true if this node is a token.

See Also:

Token

toToken

public Token toToken()

Description copied from class: Node

Get this node as a token. User-specified classes must not override this method.

Overrides:

toToken in class Node

Returns:

This node as a token.

getTokenText

public java.lang.String getTokenText()

Description copied from class: Node

Treat this node as a token and get its text. This method strips away any annotations, treats the resulting node as a token, and returns its text. User-specified classes must not override this method.

Overrides:

getTokenText in class Node

Returns:

The token's text.

See Also:

Node.strip()

hasTraversal

public boolean hasTraversal()

Description copied from class: Node

Determine whether this node supports generic traversal of its children. The default implementation returns false.

Overrides:

hasTraversal in class Node

Returns:

true if this node supports generic traversal of its children.

size

public int size()

Description copied from class: Node

Get the number of children. The default implementation signals an unsupported operation exception.

Overrides:

size in class Node

Returns:

The number of children.

get

public java.lang.Object get(int index)

Description copied from class: Node

Get the child at the specified index. The default implementation signals an unsupported operation exception.

Note that instance tests on the returned object may not behave as expected. Notably, any node may be wrapped in annotations. Furthermore, any string may be wrapped in a token (and, recursively, in annotations).

Overrides:

get in class Node

Parameters:

index - The index.

Returns:

The child at that positioin.

test(Object), cast(Object), GNode.test(Object), GNode.cast(Object)

set

public java.lang.Object set(int index,
                   java.lang.Object value)

Description copied from class: Node

Set the child at the specified index to the specified value. The default implementation signals an unsupported operation exception.

Overrides:

set in class Node

Parameters:

index - The index.

value - The new value.

Returns:

The old value.

test

public static final boolean test(java.lang.Object o)

Determine whether the specified object represents a string.

Parameters:

o - The object.

Returns:

true if the specifed object is a string or a possibly annotated token.

cast

public static final java.lang.String cast(java.lang.Object o)

Cast the specified object to a string. If the specified object is a string, this method simply returns the string. Otherwise, it casts the object to a node, strips all annotations, and then returns the resulting token's text.

Parameters:

o - The object.

Returns:

The corresponding string.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - Signals that the object does not describe a string.
