THE XML REVOLUTION - TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE FUTURE WEB

The JDOM tree model

JDOM has a class for every kind of XML tree node (in the general sense):

In most kinds, each node has a parent pointer. There are no sibling pointers but several methods for accessing the child nodes.

Content is given as a java.util.List - modifications are reflected in the tree.

The common behavior of content nodes is modelled by a superclass Content.
