isContainer

public boolean isContainer()

Deprecated.

Description copied from class: Mel

Generally a Mel is a container, meaning it can have children which are either more Mel or data values. When retrieving a data value (either scalar or vector), the methods return the value directly. But some methods return all children as a single collection, including both data values and containers. This is convenient for traversing the tree and generating output. In those situations you need to call this method "isContainer" to determine if this particular node contains only text, or whether it can have structured children. Note: there is one situation where it is impossible to know whether it is a container or not, and that is when the tag is completely empty and it has no attributes. In this case it might be a data value without any data, or it might be a container without any contents. Either way it is empty. This function returns false in this ambiguous case, thus an element that is normally a container will return false (not a container) if it is completely empty.
