- org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl
- - org.apache.xerces.dom.ChildNode

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, org.w3c.dom.events.EventTarget, org.w3c.dom.Node, org.w3c.dom.NodeList

Direct Known Subclasses:

CharacterDataImpl, ParentNode
```
public abstract class ChildNode
extends NodeImpl
```
ChildNode inherits from NodeImpl and adds the capability of being a child by having references to its previous and next siblings.

- Method Detail
  - cloneNode
```
public org.w3c.dom.Node cloneNode(boolean deep)
```
    Returns a duplicate of a given node. You can consider this a generic "copy constructor" for nodes. The newly returned object should be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other.
    Note: since we never have any children deep is meaningless here, ParentNode overrides this behavior.
    
    Specified by:
    
    cloneNode in interface org.w3c.dom.Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    cloneNode in class NodeImpl
    
    See Also:
    
    Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it contains. Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone" has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an empty Attr of the same name. NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain editable copies of locked portions of the tree.
  - getParentNode
```
public org.w3c.dom.Node getParentNode()
```
    Returns the parent node of this node
    
    Specified by:
    
    getParentNode in interface org.w3c.dom.Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    getParentNode in class NodeImpl
  - getNextSibling
```
public org.w3c.dom.Node getNextSibling()
```
    The next child of this node's parent, or null if none
    
    Specified by:
    
    getNextSibling in interface org.w3c.dom.Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    getNextSibling in class NodeImpl
  - getPreviousSibling
```
public org.w3c.dom.Node getPreviousSibling()
```
    The previous child of this node's parent, or null if none
    
    Specified by:
    
    getPreviousSibling in interface org.w3c.dom.Node
    
    Overrides:
    
    getPreviousSibling in class NodeImpl
