Package groovy.util
Class Node
java.lang.Object
groovy.util.Node
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Cloneable
Represents an arbitrary tree node which can be used for structured metadata or any arbitrary XML-like tree.
 A node can have a name, a value and an optional Map of attributes.
 Typically the name is a String and a value is either a String or a List of other Nodes,
 though the types are extensible to provide a flexible structure, e.g. you could use a
 QName as the name which includes a namespace URI and a local name. Or a JMX ObjectName etc.
 So this class can represent metadata like 
{foo a=1 b="abc"} or nested
 metadata like {foo a=1 b="123" { bar x=12 text="hello" }}- See Also:
