26 /**
27 * An Iterator that can traverse multiple iterators down an object graph.
28 * <p>
29 * This iterator can extract multiple objects from a complex tree-like object graph.
30 * The iteration starts from a single root object.
31 * It uses a {@code Transformer} to extract the iterators and elements.
32 * Its main benefit is that no intermediate {@code List} is created.
33 * </p>
34 * <p>
35 * For example, consider an object graph:
36 * </p>
37 * <pre>
38 * |- Branch -- Leaf
39 * | \- Leaf
40 * |- Tree | /- Leaf
41 * | |- Branch -- Leaf
42 * Forest | \- Leaf
43 * | |- Branch -- Leaf
44 * | | \- Leaf
45 * |- Tree | /- Leaf
46 * |- Branch -- Leaf
47 * |- Branch -- Leaf</pre>
48 * <p>
49 * The following {@code Transformer}, used in this class, will extract all
50 * the Leaf objects without creating a combined intermediate list:
51 * </p>
52 * <pre>
53 * public Object transform(Object input) {
54 * if (input instanceof Forest) {
55 * return ((Forest) input).treeIterator();
56 * }
57 * if (input instanceof Tree) {
58 * return ((Tree) input).branchIterator();
59 * }
60 * if (input instanceof Branch) {
61 * return ((Branch) input).leafIterator();
62 * }
63 * if (input instanceof Leaf) {
64 * return input;
65 * }
66 * throw new ClassCastException();
67 * }</pre>
68 * <p>
69 * Internally, iteration starts from the root object. When next is called,
70 * the transformer is called to examine the object. The transformer will return
71 * either an iterator or an object. If the object is an Iterator, the next element
72 * from that iterator is obtained and the process repeats. If the element is an object
73 * it is returned.
74 * </p>
75 * <p>
76 * Under many circumstances, linking Iterators together in this manner is
77 * more efficient (and convenient) than using nested for loops to extract a list.
78 * </p>
79 *
80 * @param <E> the type of elements returned by this iterator.
81 * @since 3.1
