23 /**
24 
25  * <code>DTMIterators</code> are used to step through a (possibly
26  * filtered) set of nodes.  Their API is modeled largely after the DOM
27  * NodeIterator.
28  *
29  * <p>A DTMIterator is a somewhat unusual type of iterator, in that it
30  * can serve both single node iteration and random access.</p>
31  *
32  * <p>The DTMIterator's traversal semantics, i.e. how it walks the tree,
33  * are specified when it is created, possibly and probably by an XPath
34  * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#NT-LocationPath>LocationPath</a> or
35  * a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#NT-UnionExpr">UnionExpr</a>.</p>
36  *
37  * <p>A DTMIterator is meant to be created once as a master static object, and
38  * then cloned many times for runtime use.  Or the master object itself may
39  * be used for simpler use cases.</p>
40  *
41  * <p>At this time, we do not expect DTMIterator to emulate
42  * NodeIterator's "maintain relative position" semantics under
43  * document mutation.  It's likely to respond more like the
44  * TreeWalker's "current node" semantics. However, since the base DTM
45  * is immutable, this issue currently makes no practical
46  * difference.</p>
47  *
48  * <p>State: In progress!!</p> */
