      • accept

        public void accept​(java.lang.String elementName,
                           int elementIndex,
                           Visitor visitor)
        Description copied from interface: Visitable
        Accept a Visitor and invoke the appropriate visit methods. A typical implementation would look like this:
         if (visitor.preVisit(this)) {
             visitor.visitStart(elementName, elementIndex, this);
             if (visitor.visit(elementName, elementIndex, this)) {
                 // visit children
             }
             visitor.visitEnd(elementName, elementIndex, this);
             visitor.postVisit(this);
         }
         
        Specified by:
        accept in interface Visitable
