Subclasses:

TreeFactory.TreePseudoNode

public class PseudoNode

extends Child

PseudoNodes can be added to TXDocument, TXElement, or DTD objects in order to expediently print text.

For example, instead of specifying an Element hierarchy as:

 TXElement root = factory.createElement("PERSON");
 TXElement item = factory.createElement("NAME");      //  Make <NAME>John Doe</NAME>
 item.addElement(factory.createText("John Doe"));
 root.addElement(item);
 item = factory.createElement("AGE");                 // Make <AGE>35</AGE>
 item.addElement(factory.createText("35"));
 root.addElement(item);
 item = factory.createElement("EMAIL");               // Make <EMAIL>John.Doe@foo.com</EMAIL>
 item.addElement(factory.createText("John.Doe@foo.com"));
 root.addElement(item);                               // Now root has NAME, AGE, and EMAIL.
 doc.addElement(root);

 

...using PsuedoNode you can instead specify:

 
 doc.addElement(new PseudoNode("<PERSON><NAME>John Doe</NAME><AGE>35</AGE><EMAIL>John.Doe@foo.com</EMAIL></PERSON>"));

 

Note that because of the requirement for validation, the object tree produced by the XML4J parser doesn't include PseudoNodes.
