All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,HashTree>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ListedHashTree

public class HashTree
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,HashTree>, java.lang.Cloneable

This class is used to create a tree structure of objects. Each element in the tree is also a key to the next node down in the tree. It provides many ways to add objects and branches, as well as many ways to retrieve.

HashTree implements the Map interface for convenience reasons. The main difference between a Map and a HashTree is that the HashTree organizes the data into a recursive tree structure, and provides the means to manipulate that structure.

Of special interest is the traverse(HashTreeTraverser) method, which provides an expedient way to traverse any HashTree by implementing the HashTreeTraverser interface in order to perform some operation on the tree, or to extract information from the tree.

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Compares all objects in the tree and verifies that the two trees contain the same objects at the same tree levels. Returns true if they do, false otherwise.

Specified by:

equals in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,HashTree>

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - Object to be compared against

Object.equals(Object)

keySet

public java.util.Set<java.lang.Object> keySet()

Returns a Set of all the keys in the top-level of this HashTree.

Specified by:

keySet in interface java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,HashTree>

Map.keySet()

search

public HashTree search(java.lang.Object key)

Searches the HashTree structure for the given key. If it finds the key, it returns the HashTree mapped to the key. If it finds nothing, it returns null.

Parameters:

key - Key to search for

Returns:

HashTree mapped to key, if found, otherwise null

size

public int size()

Returns the number of top-level entries in the HashTree.

traverse

public void traverse(HashTreeTraverser visitor)

Allows any implementation of the HashTreeTraverser interface to easily traverse (depth-first) all the nodes of the HashTree. The Traverser implementation will be given notification of each node visited.

Parameters:

visitor - the visitor that wants to traverse the tree
