 public interface NodeFilterFilters are objects that know how to "filter out" nodes. If aNodeIteratororTreeWalkeris given aNodeFilter, it applies the filter before it returns the next node. If the filter says to accept the node, the traversal logic returns it; otherwise, traversal looks for the next node and pretends that the node that was rejected was not there.The DOM does not provide any filters. NodeFilteris just an interface that users can implement to provide their own filters.NodeFiltersdo not need to know how to traverse from node to node, nor do they need to know anything about the data structure that is being traversed. This makes it very easy to write filters, since the only thing they have to know how to do is evaluate a single node. One filter may be used with a number of different kinds of traversals, encouraging code reuse.See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Traversal and Range Specification. - Since:
- 9, DOM Level 2

Field Detail- 
FILTER_ACCEPTstatic final short FILTER_ACCEPT Accept the node. Navigation methods defined forNodeIteratororTreeWalkerwill return this node.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
FILTER_REJECTstatic final short FILTER_REJECT Reject the node. Navigation methods defined forNodeIteratororTreeWalkerwill not return this node. ForTreeWalker, the children of this node will also be rejected.NodeIteratorstreat this as a synonym forFILTER_SKIP.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
FILTER_SKIPstatic final short FILTER_SKIP Skip this single node. Navigation methods defined forNodeIteratororTreeWalkerwill not return this node. For bothNodeIteratorandTreeWalker, the children of this node will still be considered.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_ALLstatic final int SHOW_ALL Show allNodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_ELEMENTstatic final int SHOW_ELEMENT ShowElementnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_ATTRIBUTEstatic final int SHOW_ATTRIBUTE ShowAttrnodes. This is meaningful only when creating anNodeIteratororTreeWalkerwith an attribute node as itsroot; in this case, it means that the attribute node will appear in the first position of the iteration or traversal. Since attributes are never children of other nodes, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_TEXTstatic final int SHOW_TEXT ShowTextnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_CDATA_SECTIONstatic final int SHOW_CDATA_SECTION ShowCDATASectionnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCEstatic final int SHOW_ENTITY_REFERENCE ShowEntityReferencenodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_ENTITYstatic final int SHOW_ENTITY ShowEntitynodes. This is meaningful only when creating anNodeIteratororTreeWalkerwith anEntitynode as itsroot; in this case, it means that theEntitynode will appear in the first position of the traversal. Since entities are not part of the document tree, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTIONstatic final int SHOW_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION ShowProcessingInstructionnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_COMMENTstatic final int SHOW_COMMENT ShowCommentnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_DOCUMENTstatic final int SHOW_DOCUMENT ShowDocumentnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_DOCUMENT_TYPEstatic final int SHOW_DOCUMENT_TYPE ShowDocumentTypenodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENTstatic final int SHOW_DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT ShowDocumentFragmentnodes.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values
 
 - 
SHOW_NOTATIONstatic final int SHOW_NOTATION ShowNotationnodes. This is meaningful only when creating anNodeIteratororTreeWalkerwith aNotationnode as itsroot; in this case, it means that theNotationnode will appear in the first position of the traversal. Since notations are not part of the document tree, they do not appear when traversing over the document tree.- See Also:
- Constant Field Values

Method Detail- 
acceptNodeshort acceptNode(Node n) Test whether a specified node is visible in the logical view of aTreeWalkerorNodeIterator. This function will be called by the implementation ofTreeWalkerandNodeIterator; it is not normally called directly from user code. (Though you could do so if you wanted to use the same filter to guide your own application logic.)- Parameters:
- n- The node to check to see if it passes the filter or not.
- Returns:
- A constant to determine whether the node is accepted, rejected, or skipped, as defined above.
