Package overview: net.sf.saxon.tree.wrapper

This package defines a number of implementations of "virtual nodes" implemented as wrappers around other nodes.

The {@link net.sf.saxon.tree.wrapper.SpaceStrippedNode} class provides a virtual tree in which whitespace text nodes in the underlying real tree are ignored.

The {@link net.sf.saxon.tree.wrapper.TypeStrippedNode} class provides a virtual tree in which type annotations in the underlying real tree are ignored.

The {@link net.sf.saxon.tree.wrapper.VirtualCopy} class provides a tree that is the same as the underlying tree in everything except node identity.
