Interface IFragmentSpec

All Known Implementing Classes:

ChainedFragmentSpec, DOMSelectorFragmentSpec, ElementAndAttributeNameFragmentSpec, WholeFragmentSpec

public interface IFragmentSpec

Common interface for all fragment specifications.

Fragment specifications are able of extracting specific sections or subtrees from a DOM node tree, according to the logic defined at the specific implementation.

Fragment specs have multiple uses. One of them is allowing the TemplateEngine to select a fragment of a template to be processed (once read and parsed), discarding the rest of the template and reducing the processing effort to executing just the wanted parts. See TemplateEngine.process(String, org.thymeleaf.context.IContext, IFragmentSpec) for more info.
