## Class QueryTreeBuilder

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.queryparser.flexible.core.builders.QueryTreeBuilder

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    QueryBuilder
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    StandardQueryTreeBuilder

      public class QueryTreeBuilder
      extends Object
      implements QueryBuilder

  This class should be used when there is a builder for each type of node. The type of node may be defined in 2 different ways: - by the field name, when the node implements the `FieldableNode` interface - by its class, it keeps checking the class and all the interfaces and classes this class implements/extends until it finds a builder for that class/interface This class always check if there is a builder for the field name before it checks for the node class. So, field name builders have precedence over class builders. When a builder is found for a node, it's called and the node is passed to the builder. If the returned built object is not `null`, it's tagged on the node using the tag `QUERY_TREE_BUILDER_TAGID`. The children are usually built before the parent node. However, if a builder associated to a node is an instance of `QueryTreeBuilder`, the node is delegated to this builder and it's responsible to build the node and its children.

      Builds some kind of object from a query tree. Each node in the query tree is built using an specific builder associated to it.
      Specified by:
        `build` in interface `QueryBuilder`
      Parameters:
        `queryNode` - the query tree root node
      Returns:
        the built object
      Throws:
        `QueryNodeException` - if some node builder throws a `QueryNodeException` or if there is a node which had no builder associated to it
