- AnyChildNodePattern, AnyNodeTest, NamespaceTest, NameTest, NodeTypeTest, NoNodeTest
- public abstract class NodeTest- extends Pattern
A NodeTest is a simple kind of pattern that enables a context-free test of whether
 a node has a particular
 name. There are five kinds of name test: a full name test, a prefix test, and an
 "any node of a given type" test, an "any node of any type" test, and a "no nodes"
 test (used, e.g. for "@comment()")

NodeTest
public NodeTest()
matches
public abstract boolean matches(NodeInfo node)
- Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
 
- 
 
matches
public abstract boolean matches(short nodeType,
                                int fingerprint)
- Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node
 
- 
- Parameters:
- nodeType- The type of node to be matched
- fingerprint- identifies the expanded name of the node to be matched.
 The value should be -1 for a node with no name.
 
matches
public final boolean matches(NodeInfo node,
                             Context c)
- Test whether this node test is satisfied by a given node, in a given Context
 
- 
- Specified by:
- matchesin class- Pattern
 
- 
- Parameters:
- node- The NodeInfo representing the Element or other node to be tested against the Pattern
- c- The context in which the match is to take place. Only relevant if the pattern
 uses variables.
- Returns:
- true if the node matches the Pattern, false otherwise
