Method Detail

peek

public Node peek()
          throws ParserException

Deprecated.

Fetch a node without consuming it. Subsequent calls to peek() will return subsequent nodes. The node returned by peek() will never be a node already consumed by nextHTMLNode().

For example, say there are nodes <H1><H2><H3><H4><H5>, this is the nodes that would be returned for the indicated calls:

 peek()         H1
 peek()         H2
 nextHTMLNode() H1
 peek()         H3
 nextHTMLNode() H2
 nextHTMLNode() H3
 nextHTMLNode() H4
 peek()         H5
 

Returns:

The next node that would be returned by nextHTMLNode() or the node after the last node returned by peek(), whichever is later in the stream. or null if there are no more nodes available via the above rules.

Throws:

ParserException
