AttributeAxisIterator (PMD Core 7.0.0-rc2 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.sourceforge.pmd.lang.rule.xpath.impl.AttributeAxisIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<Attribute>
```
public class AttributeAxisIterator
extends Object
implements Iterator<Attribute>
```
Explores an AST node reflectively to iterate over its XPath attributes. This is the default way the attributes of a node are made accessible to XPath rules, and defines an important piece of PMD's XPath support.
