## Class TreeNode

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.struts2.jasper.xmlparser.TreeNode

-     public class TreeNode
      extends Object

  Simplified implementation of a Node from a Document Object Model (DOM) parse of an XML document. This class is used to represent a DOM tree so that the XML parser's implementation of `org.w3c.dom` need not be visible to the remainder of Jasper.

  WARNING - Construction of a new tree, or modifications to an existing one, are not thread-safe and such accesses must be synchronized.
