public interface Visitor

Visitor is used to implement the Visitor pattern in DOM4J. An object of this interface can be passed to a Node which will then call its typesafe methods. Please refer to the Gang of Four book of Design Patterns for more details on the Visitor pattern.

This site has further discussion on design patterns and links to the GOF book. This link describes the Visitor pattern in detail.
