Class ImmutableNode

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Iterable<ImmutableNode>

    public final class ImmutableNode
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.Iterable<ImmutableNode>

    An immutable default implementation for configuration nodes.

    This class is used for an in-memory representation of hierarchical configuration data. It stores typical information like a node name, a value, child nodes, or attributes.

    After their creation, instances cannot be manipulated. There are methods for updating properties, but these methods return new ImmutableNode instances. Instances are created using the nested Builder class.

      • addChild

        public ImmutableNode addChild​(ImmutableNode child)
        Creates a new ImmutableNode instance which is a copy of this object, but has the given child node added.
        Parameters:
        child - the child node to be added (must not be null)
