java.lang.Object
- org.yaml.snakeyaml.nodes.Node

Direct Known Subclasses:

AnchorNode, CollectionNode, ScalarNode
```
public abstract class Node
extends Object
```
Base class for all nodes.
The nodes form the node-graph described in the YAML Specification.

While loading, the node graph is usually created by the Composer, and later transformed into application specific Java classes by the classes from the org.yaml.snakeyaml.constructor package.

```
- Method Detail
  - getTag
```
public Tag getTag()
```
    Tag of this node.
    Every node has a tag assigned. The tag is either local or global.
    
    Returns:
    
    Tag of this node.
  - getEndMark
```
public Mark getEndMark()
```
  - getNodeId
```
public abstract NodeId getNodeId()
```
    For error reporting.
    
    Returns:
    
    scalar, sequence, mapping

```
  - setTwoStepsConstruction
```
public void setTwoStepsConstruction(boolean twoStepsConstruction)
```
  - isTwoStepsConstruction
```
public boolean isTwoStepsConstruction()
```
    Indicates if this node must be constructed in two steps.
    Two-step construction is required whenever a node is a child (direct or indirect) of it self. That is, if a recursive structure is build using anchors and aliases.
    
    Set by Composer, used during the construction process.
    
    Only relevant during loading.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the node is self referenced.
  - hashCode
```
public final int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class Object
  - useClassConstructor
```
public boolean useClassConstructor()
```
  - setUseClassConstructor
```
public void setUseClassConstructor(Boolean useClassConstructor)
```
  - getAnchor
```
public String getAnchor()
```
  - setAnchor
```
public void setAnchor(String anchor)
```
  - getInLineComments
```
public List<CommentLine> getInLineComments()
```
    The ordered list of in-line comments. The first of which appears at the end of the line respresent by this node. The rest are in the following lines, indented per the Spec to indicate they are continuation of the inline comment.
    
    Returns:
    
    the comment line list.
  - setInLineComments
```
public void setInLineComments(List<CommentLine> inLineComments)
```
  - getBlockComments
```
public List<CommentLine> getBlockComments()
```
    The ordered list of blank lines and block comments (full line) that appear before this node.
    
    Returns:
    
    the comment line list.
  - setBlockComments
```
public void setBlockComments(List<CommentLine> blockComments)
```
  - getEndComments
```
public List<CommentLine> getEndComments()
```
    The ordered list of blank lines and block comments (full line) that appear AFTER this node.
    NOTE: these comment should occur only in the last node in a document, when walking the node tree "in order"
    
    Returns:
    
    the comment line list.
  - setEndComments
```
public void setEndComments(List<CommentLine> endComments)
```
