- Method Detail
  - makeIterator
```
public static AxisIterator makeIterator(NodeInfo item)
```
    Factory method.
    
    Parameters:
    
    item - the item to iterate over
    
    Returns:
    
    a SingletonIterator over the supplied item, or an EmptyIterator if the supplied item is null.
  - 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:
    
    hasNext in interface LookaheadIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    true if there are more items
  - moveNext
```
public boolean moveNext()
```
    Move to the next node, without returning it. Returns true if there is a next node, false if the end of the sequence has been reached. After calling this method, the current node may be retrieved using the current() function.
    
    Specified by:
    
    moveNext in interface AxisIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    true if there is a next node, false if the end of the sequence has been reached
  - next
```
public NodeInfo next()
```
    Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator
    
    Get the next item in the sequence.
    
    Specified by:
    
    next in interface AxisIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    next in interface SequenceIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    next in interface UnfailingIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the next Item. If there are no more nodes, return null.
  - current
```
public NodeInfo current()
```
    Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator
    
    Get the current item in the sequence.
    
    Specified by:
    
    current in interface AxisIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    current in interface SequenceIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    current in interface UnfailingIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the current item, that is, the item most recently returned by next()
  - position
```
public int position()
```
    Return the current position in the sequence.
    
    Specified by:
    
    position in interface SequenceIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    position in interface UnfailingIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    0 before the first call on next(); 1 before the second call on next(); -1 after the second call on next().
  - getLength
```
public int getLength()
```
    Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder
    
    Get the last position (that is, the number of items in the sequence). This method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the iterator. The result is undefined if the next() method of the iterator has already returned null. This method must not be called unless the result of getProperties() on the iterator includes the bit setting SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLength in interface LastPositionFinder
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of items in the sequence
  - close
```
public void close()
```
    Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
    
    Close the iterator. This indicates to the supplier of the data that the client does not require any more items to be delivered by the iterator. This may enable the supplier to release resources. After calling close(), no further calls on the iterator should be made; if further calls are made, the effect of such calls is undefined.
    (Currently, closing an iterator is important only when the data is being "pushed" in another thread. Closing the iterator terminates that thread and means that it needs to do no additional work. Indeed, failing to close the iterator may cause the push thread to hang waiting for the buffer to be emptied.)
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface SequenceIterator
  - iterateAxis
```
public AxisIterator iterateAxis(byte axis,
                                NodeTest test)
```
    Return an iterator over an axis, starting at the current node.
    
    Specified by:
    
    iterateAxis in interface AxisIterator
    
    Parameters:
    
    axis - the axis to iterate over, using a constant such as Axis.CHILD
    
    test - a predicate to apply to the nodes before returning them.
    
    Returns:
    
    an iterator over an axis, starting at the current node
  - atomize
```
public Value atomize()
              throws XPathException
```
    Return the atomized value of the current node.
    
    Specified by:
    
    atomize in interface AxisIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the atomized value.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if there is no current node
    
    XPathException - if the current node cannot be atomized, for example because it is an element node with element-only content.
  - getStringValue
```
public java.lang.CharSequence getStringValue()
```
    Return the string value of the current node.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getStringValue in interface AxisIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the string value, as an instance of CharSequence.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if there is no current node
  - getAnother
```
public AxisIterator getAnother()
```
    Description copied from interface: UnfailingIterator
    
    Get another iterator over the same sequence of items, positioned at the start of the sequence. It must be possible to call this method at any time, whether none, some, or all of the items in the original iterator have been read. The method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the original iterator.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAnother in interface AxisIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAnother in interface SequenceIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    getAnother in interface UnfailingIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    a new iterator over the same sequence
  - getReverseIterator
```
public SequenceIterator getReverseIterator()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReversibleIterator
    
    Get a new SequenceIterator that returns the same items in reverse order. If this SequenceIterator is an AxisIterator, then the returned SequenceIterator must also be an AxisIterator.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getReverseIterator in interface ReversibleIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    an iterator over the items in reverse order
  - getValue
```
public Item getValue()
```
  - materialize
```
public GroundedValue materialize()
```
    Return a Value containing all the items in the sequence returned by this SequenceIterator
    
    Specified by:
    
    materialize in interface GroundedIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the corresponding Value. If the value is a closure or a function call package, it will be evaluated and expanded.
  - getProperties
```
public int getProperties()
```
    Get properties of this iterator, as a bit-significant integer.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getProperties in interface SequenceIterator
    
    Returns:
    
    the properties of this iterator. This will be some combination of properties such as SequenceIterator.GROUNDED, SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER, and SequenceIterator.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.
