public class EmptyIterator
extends Object
implements SequenceIterator, ReversibleIterator, LastPositionFinder, GroundedIterator, LookaheadIterator, UnfailingIterator, AtomizedValueIterator
EmptyIterator: an iterator over an empty sequence. Since such an iterator has no state,
only one instance is required; therefore a singleton instance is available via the static
getInstance() method.

Method Details
-
getInstance
Get an EmptyIterator, an iterator over an empty sequence.- Returns:
- an EmptyIterator (in practice, this always returns the same one)
-
emptyIterator
-
nextAtomizedValue
Deliver the atomic value that is next in the atomized result- Specified by:
nextAtomizedValuein interfaceAtomizedValueIterator- Returns:
- the next atomic value
-
next
Get the next item.- Specified by:
nextin interfaceSequenceIterator- Specified by:
nextin interfaceUnfailingIterator- Returns:
- the next item. For the EmptyIterator this is always null.
-
getLength
public int getLength()Get the position of the last item in the sequence.- Specified by:
getLengthin interfaceLastPositionFinder- Returns:
- the position of the last item in the sequence, always zero in this implementation
-
getReverseIterator
Get another iterator over the same items, in reverse order.- Specified by:
getReverseIteratorin interfaceReversibleIterator- Returns:
- a reverse iterator over an empty sequence (in practice, it returns the same iterator each time)
-
getProperties
Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.- Specified by:
getPropertiesin interfaceSequenceIterator- Returns:
- the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of
properties such as
SequenceIterator.Property.GROUNDED,SequenceIterator.Property.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, andSequenceIterator.Property.LOOKAHEAD. It is always acceptable to return the value zero, indicating that there are no known special properties. It is acceptable for the properties of the iterator to change depending on its state.
-
materialize
Return a Value containing all the items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator. This should be an "in-memory" value, not a Closure.- Specified by:
materializein interfaceGroundedIterator- Specified by:
materializein interfaceSequenceIterator- Returns:
- the corresponding Value
-
getResidue
Description copied from interface:GroundedIteratorReturn a GroundedValue containing all the remaining items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator, starting at the current position. This should be an "in-memory" value, not a Closure. This method does not change the state of the iterator (in particular, it does not consume the iterator).- Specified by:
getResiduein interfaceGroundedIterator- Returns:
- the corresponding Value
-
hasNext
public boolean hasNext()Determine whether there are more items to come. Note that this operation is stateless and it is not necessary (or usual) to call it before calling next(). It is used only when there is an explicit need to tell if we are at the last element.- Specified by:
hasNextin interfaceLookaheadIterator- Returns:
- true if there are more nodes
-
ofNodes
Static method to get an empty AxisIterator -
ofAtomic
