Class NameTreeNode

java.lang.Object
  edu.harvard.hul.ois.jhove.module.pdf.NameTreeNode

public class NameTreeNode
extends java.lang.Object

Class for nodes of a PDF name tree, e.g., ExternalFiles. Name trees are intended for large amounts of data that won't have to all be brought into memory at once; so this implementation is geared toward file-based lookup of a key rather than creating an in-memory structure. Descendant nodes become available for garbage collection if they are not on the search path for a match. Keys are collated according to raw bytes, not character encoding.
