Class XmlNode

java.lang.Object
com.aquima.interactions.foundation.xml.parsing.XmlNode
All Implemented Interfaces:
IXmlNode
public class XmlNode extends Object implements IXmlNode
Simple XMLNode used to read elements from the DOM Parser. The XMLNode is a recursive (hierarchical) structure.

XMLNode is a wrapper around the standard org.w3c.dom.Node interface.

This cannot be used to create new nodes for use with the XMLDOMGenerator, use XMLNewElement for that.
