Interface X3DMetadataObject

All Known Subinterfaces:

MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataSet, MetadataString

All Known Implementing Classes:

MetadataBoolean, MetadataDouble, MetadataFloat, MetadataInteger, MetadataSet, MetadataString

public interface X3DMetadataObject

Each node inheriting the X3DMetadataObject interface contains a single array of strictly typed values: MFBool, MFInt32, MFFloat, MFDouble, MFString, or MFNode, the latter having children that are all Metadata nodes.

Warning: this is an abstract interface that cannot be instantiated as a concrete object. Java programmers typically only need to use concrete objects provided by the org.web3d.x3d.jsail classes.
Package hint: This interface is defined by the X3D Java Language Binding Specification for the Scene Authoring Interface (SAI).
