PathQueryNode (Lucene 10.5.1 queryparser API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes, class: PathQueryNode

Package org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes

# Class PathQueryNode

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes.QueryNodeImpl
org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes.PathQueryNode

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Cloneable`, `QueryNode`

public class PathQueryNode extends QueryNodeImpl
A `PathQueryNode` is used to store queries like /company/USA/California /product/shoes/brown. QueryText are objects that contain the text, begin position and end position in the query.

Example how the text parser creates these objects:

     List values = ArrayList();
     values.add(new PathQueryNode.QueryText("company", 1, 7));
     values.add(new PathQueryNode.QueryText("USA", 9, 12));
     values.add(new PathQueryNode.QueryText("California", 14, 23));
     QueryNode q = new PathQueryNode(values);
