      Returns the name of this GPathResult.
      Overrides:
      name in class GPathResult
      Returns:
      the name of this GPathResult
    • size

      public int size()
      Returns the size of this Attribute, which is always 1.
      Specified by:
      size in class GPathResult
      Returns:
      1
    • text

      public String text()
      Returns the value of this Attribute.
      Specified by:
      text in class GPathResult
      Returns:
      the value of this Attribute
    • namespaceURI

      public String namespaceURI()
      Returns the URI of the namespace of this Attribute.
      Returns:
      the namespace of this Attribute
    • parents

      public GPathResult parents()
      Throws a GroovyRuntimeException, because this method is not implemented yet.
      Specified by:
      parents in class GPathResult
      Returns:
      the parents of this GPathResult
    • childNodes

      public Iterator childNodes()
      Throws a GroovyRuntimeException, because an attribute can have no children.
      Specified by:
      childNodes in class GPathResult
      Returns:
      an iterator over the child nodes of this GPathResult
    • iterator

      public Iterator iterator()
      Specified by:
      iterator in interface Iterable
      Specified by:
      iterator in class GPathResult
    • find

      public GPathResult find(Closure closure)
      Description copied from class: GPathResult
      Returns the first child of this GPathResult matching the condition(s) specified in the passed closure.
      Specified by:
      find in class GPathResult
      Parameters:
      closure - a closure to filters the children of this GPathResult
      Returns:
      the first child matching the closure
    • findAll

      public GPathResult findAll(Closure closure)
      Description copied from class: GPathResult
      Returns the children of this GPathResult matching the condition(s) specified in the passed closure.
      Specified by:
      findAll in class GPathResult
      Parameters:
      closure - a closure to filters the children of this GPathResult
      Returns:
      the children matching the closure
    • nodeIterator

      public Iterator nodeIterator()
      Specified by:
      nodeIterator in class GPathResult
    • writeTo

      public Writer writeTo(Writer out) throws IOException
      Description copied from interface: Writable
      Writes this object to the given writer.

      This is used to defer content creation until the point when it is streamed to the output destination. Oftentimes, content will be defined but not necessarily created (as it may be the case with a Closure definition.) In that case, the output is then 'deferred' to the point when it is serialized to the writer. This class may be used whenever an object should be responsible for creating its own textual representation, but creating the entire output as a single String would be inefficient (such as outputting a multi-gigabyte XML document.)

      Parameters:
      out - the Writer to which this Writable should output its data.
      Returns:
      the Writer that was passed
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error occurred while outputting data to the writer
    • build

      public void build(GroovyObject builder)
    • replaceNode

      protected void replaceNode(Closure newValue)
      NOP, because an attribute does not have any Node to replace.
      Specified by:
      replaceNode in class GPathResult
    • replaceBody

      protected void replaceBody(Object newValue)
      NOP, because an attribute does not have a Body.
      Specified by:
      replaceBody in class GPathResult
    • appendNode

      protected void appendNode(Object newValue)
      NOP, because a node can not be appended to an attribute.
      Specified by:
      appendNode in class GPathResult
