XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Regier Avery J" <RegierAveryJ AT JohnDeere.com>]

Hello,

I was very curious while perusing the JavaDoc that there are absolutely no
Iterators in the API.

Is this on purpose?  I didn't see it listed as a design consideration.

In my own API's I provide type-safe (or castless) iterators that implement
Iterator, Enumeration, and ListIterator via handy base classes.  This
provides that the iterators returned can be used easily with virtually any
API.  I would also provide methods such as:
        public Foo nextFoo();
        public Foo previousFoo();
to provide a type safe iteration.

If you have any objections to iterators, would the above approach mitigate
those concerns?

Thanks,
Avery J. Regier
