## [Java] Class XmlGroovyMethods

- org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.XmlGroovyMethods

- This class defines all the new XML-related groovy methods which enhance the normal JDK XML classes when inside the Groovy environment. Static methods are used with the first parameter the destination class.

- - ### Methods Summary

    Methods
    Type Params | Return Type | Name and description
    --- | --- | ---
    `` | `boolean` | `hasNext()`
    `` | `static Iterator<Node>` | `iterator(NodeList nodeList)` Makes NodeList iterable by returning a read-only Iterator which traverses over each Node.
    `` | `Node` | `next()`
    `` | `void` | `remove()`
    `` | `static String` | `serialize(Element element)` Transforms the element to its text equivalent.

- - ### Method Detail

    - #### public boolean hasNext()

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprDeprecated public static Iterator<Node> iterator(NodeList nodeList)

      Makes NodeList iterable by returning a read-only Iterator which traverses over each Node.

      Parameters:
        `nodeList` - a NodeList
      Returns:
        an Iterator for a NodeList
      Since:
        1.0

    - #### public Node next()

    - #### public void remove()

    - #### @com.github.javaparser.ast.expr.MarkerAnnotationExprDeprecated public static String serialize(Element element)

      Transforms the element to its text equivalent. (The resulting string does not contain a xml declaration. Use `XmlUtil.serialize(element)` if you need the declaration.)

      Parameters:
        `element` - the element to serialize
      Returns:
        the string representation of the element
