31  <TITLE>Nodes Package</TITLE>
32  </HEAD>
33  <BODY>
34  The nodes package has the concrete node implementations.
35  <p>
36  The classes in this package all implement the {@link org.htmlparser.Node Node}
37  interface. They individually implement the more specific interfaces for text,
38  remarks and tags. The three node types are mapped as follows:
39  <table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
40    <thead CLASS="TableHeadingColor">
41    <tr>
42      <td>Interface</td><td>Concrete Implementation</td>
43    </tr>
44    </thead>
45    <tr>
46      <td>{@link org.htmlparser.Text Text}</td><td>{@link org.htmlparser.nodes.TextNode TextNode}</td>
47    </tr>
48    <tr>
49      <td>{@link org.htmlparser.Remark Remark}</td><td>{@link org.htmlparser.nodes.RemarkNode RemarkNode}</td>
50    </tr>
51    <tr>
52      <td>{@link org.htmlparser.Tag Tag}</td><td>{@link org.htmlparser.nodes.TagNode TagNode}</td>
53    </tr>
54  </table>
55  These classes are derived from the
56  {@link org.htmlparser.nodes.AbstractNode AbstractNode} class, which provides
57  basic functionality common to all nodes, such as maintaining start and end positions
58  and child and parent references. Only the {@link org.htmlparser.nodes.TagNode TagNode} objects
59  contain a list of {@link org.htmlparser.Attribute Attribute} objects.
60  <p>The {@link org.htmlparser.lexer.Lexer Lexer} parses an HTML stream into a
61  contiguous stream of these nodes.</p>
62  <p>The {@link org.htmlparser.Parser Parser} returns either these nodes or specific
63  {@link org.htmlparser.tags Tag} objects (which are subclasses of TagNode)
64  for tags with names that have been registered via
65  {@link org.htmlparser.PrototypicalNodeFactory#registerTag registerTag()}.
