Package org.jdom.filter

Class Filters

  • public final class Filters
extends Object
    Factory class of convenience methods to create Filter instances of common types. Methods that return Filters that act on core JDOM classes (Element, Text, etc.) are simply named after the content they return.

    Filters that match non-core classes (Boolean, Object, etc.) are all prefixed with the letter 'f' (for filter).

    The Filter returned by #fpassthrough() is not really a filter in the sense that it will never filter anything out - everything matches. This can be useful to accomplish some tasks, for example the JDOM XPath API uses it extensively.
