Node (cayenne-doc: Cayenne Documentation 5.0-M2 API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.cayenne.template.parser, interface: Node

# Interface Node

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `ASTArray, ASTBlock, ASTBoolScalar, ASTDirective, ASTExpression, ASTFloatScalar, ASTIfElse, ASTIntScalar, ASTMethod, ASTStringScalar, ASTText, ASTVariable, IdentifierNode, ScalarNode, SimpleNode`

public interface Node
All AST nodes must implement this interface. It provides basic machinery for constructing the parent and child relationships between nodes.

- ## Method Details

  - ### jjtSetParent

    void jjtSetParent(Node n)
    This pair of methods are used to inform the node of its parent.

  - ### jjtGetParent

    Node jjtGetParent()

  - ### jjtAddChild

    void jjtAddChild(Node n, int i)
    This method tells the node to add its argument to the node's list of children.

  - ### jjtGetChild
