public interface DescriptorElement

Base element definition to reflect meaningful Impex header structure. For instance A|B,C(D[lang=en]|E)
To use this class you have to check for the concrete implementing type:

• ValueElement: Represents low level element in the structure. For instance: A(B).
• AlternativeListElement: Represents alternatives collection. For instance: A|B.
• ChildrenListElement: Represents lists of elements. For instance: A,B.

 Usage:

 
 DescriptorElement element = ...;
 if (element instanceof ValueElement) {
    // some action
 } else if (element instanceof ChildrenListElement) {
    // some action
 } else if (element instanceof AlternativeListElement) {
    // some action
 }
