  - ### iterator

    public java.util.Iterator iterator()
    Specified by:
      `iterator` in interface `java.lang.Iterable`
    Specified by:
      `iterator` in class `GPathResult`

    Returns the size of this GPathResult.
    Specified by:
      `size` in class `GPathResult`
    Returns:

    Returns the text of this GPathResult as a `String`.
    Specified by:
      `text` in class `GPathResult`
    Returns:
      the text of this GPathResult

  - ### find

    public GPathResult find​(Closure closure)
    Description copied from class: `GPathResult`
    Returns the first child of this GPathResult matching the condition(s) specified in the passed closure.
    Specified by:
      `find` in class `GPathResult`
    Parameters:
      `closure` - a closure to filters the children of this GPathResult
    Returns:
      the first child matching the closure

  - ### findAll

    public GPathResult findAll​(Closure closure)
    Description copied from class: `GPathResult`
    Returns the children of this GPathResult matching the condition(s) specified in the passed closure.
    Specified by:
      `findAll` in class `GPathResult`
    Parameters:
      `closure` - a closure to filters the children of this GPathResult

      the children matching the closure

  - ### build

    public void build​(GroovyObject builder)

  - ### writeTo

    public java.io.Writer writeTo​(java.io.Writer out) throws java.io.IOException
    Description copied from interface: `Writable`
    Writes this object to the given writer.

    This is used to defer content creation until the point when it is streamed to the output destination. Oftentimes, content will be defined but not necessarily created (as is may be the case with a Closure definition.) In that case, the output is then 'deferred' to the point when it is serialized to the writer. This class may be used whenever an object should be responsible for creating its own textual representation, but creating the entire output as a single String would be inefficient (such as outputting a multi-gigabyte XML document.)

    Parameters:
      `out` - the Writer to which this Writable should output its data.
    Returns:
      the Writer that was passed
    Throws:
      `java.io.IOException` - if an error occurred while outputting data to the writer

  - ### replaceNode

    protected void replaceNode​(Closure newValue)
    Specified by:
      `replaceNode` in class `GPathResult`

  - ### replaceBody

    protected void replaceBody​(java.lang.Object newValue)
    Specified by:
      `replaceBody` in class `GPathResult`

  - ### appendNode

    protected void appendNode​(java.lang.Object newValue)
    Specified by:
      `appendNode` in class `GPathResult`
