## Class BooleanQueryNode

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes.QueryNodeImpl
  - - org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.nodes.BooleanQueryNode

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Cloneable, QueryNode
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AndQueryNode, OrQueryNode, ProximityQueryNode, StandardBooleanQueryNode

      public class BooleanQueryNode
      extends QueryNodeImpl

  A `BooleanQueryNode` represents a list of elements which do not have an explicit boolean operator defined between them. It can be used to express a boolean query that intends to use the default boolean operator.
