• Method Detail

  • getTopLevelNodes

    java.util.List getTopLevelNodes()

    Retrieve a List with the top elements. In the standard use case this list will only contain a single element. Additional elements can only occur, if HierarchicalStreamWriter.startNode(String) of the implementing HierarchicalStreamWriter was called multiple times with an empty node stack. Such a situation occurs calling XStream.marshal(Object, HierarchicalStreamWriter) multiple times directly.

    Returns:

    a List with top nodes
