Methods Summary

Methods
Type Params	Return Type	Name and description
	`protected void`	`appendNode(Object newValue)` Lazily appends content to the nodes represented by this result. Parameters: `newValue` - content to append
	`public Map`	`attributes()` Returns a map containing all attributes of the Node of this NodeChild.
	`public void`	`build(GroovyObject builder)` Builds this object into the supplied builder. Parameters: `builder` - the target builder
	`public Iterator`	`childNodes()` Returns an iterator over the child nodes of this GPathResult. Returns: an iterator over the child nodes of this GPathResult
	`public GPathResult`	`find(Closure closure)` Returns the first child of this GPathResult matching the condition(s) specified in the passed closure. Parameters: `closure` - a closure to filters the children of this GPathResult Returns: the first child matching the closure
	`public GPathResult`	`findAll(Closure closure)` Returns the children of this GPathResult matching the condition(s) specified in the passed closure. Parameters: `closure` - a closure to filters the children of this GPathResult Returns: the children matching the closure
	`public Object`	`getAt(int index)` Supports the subscript operator for a GPathResult. `import groovy.xml.slurpersupport.* import groovy.xml.XmlSlurper def text = """ <characterList> <character/> <character> <name>Gromit</name> </character> </characterList>""" GPathResult characterList = new XmlSlurper().parseText(text) assert characterList.character[1].name == 'Gromit'` Parameters: `index` - an index Returns: the value at the given index
	`public Iterator`	`iterator()` {@inheritDoc}
	`public List<String>`	`localText()` Returns the list of any direct String nodes of this NodeChild.
	`public String`	`namespaceURI()` Returns the URI of the namespace of this NodeChild.
	`public Iterator`	`nodeIterator()` Returns the raw node iterator backing this lazy result. Returns: the underlying node iterator
	`public GPathResult`	`parent()` Returns as GPathResult with the parent nodes of the current GPathResult Returns: the parents GPathResult or `this` for the root
	`public GPathResult`	`parents()` Throws a `GroovyRuntimeException`, because this method is not implemented yet.
	`protected void`	`replaceBody(Object newValue)` Lazily replaces the body content represented by this result. Parameters: `newValue` - replacement body content
	`protected void`	`replaceNode(Closure newValue)` Lazily replaces the nodes represented by this result. Parameters: `newValue` - closure generating the replacement content
	`public int`	`size()` Returns the size of this GPathResult. Returns: the size of this GPathResult
	`public String`	`text()` Returns the text of this GPathResult as a `String`. Returns: the text of this GPathResult
	`public Writer`	`writeTo(Writer out)` Writes this object to the given writer. This is used to defer content creation until the point when it is streamed to the output destination. Oftentimes, content will be defined but not necessarily created (as it may be the case with a Closure definition.) In that case, the output is then 'deferred' to the point when it is serialized to the writer. This class may be used whenever an object should be responsible for creating its own textual representation, but creating the entire output as a single String would be inefficient (such as outputting a multi-gigabyte XML document.) throws: IOException if an error occurred while outputting data to the writer Parameters: `out` - the Writer to which this Writable should output its data. Returns: the Writer that was passed
