  - ### Method Detail

    - #### supportsGetChildReferenceByKey

          public boolean supportsGetChildReferenceByKey()

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Return whether it is possible/feasible to `find` a ChildReference for a child node given only its NodeKey. Implementations that have very large numbers of children may provide an alternative way to `lookup` a child reference directly. In such cases, this method may return false.
      Specified by:
        `supportsGetChildReferenceByKey` in interface `ChildReferences`
      Returns:
        true if `ChildReferences.getChild(NodeKey)` and `ChildReferences.getChild(NodeKey, Context)` should be used to find the ChildReference, or false if doing so is not recommended.

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty()

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Determine if there are no references in this container. This is equivalent to calling `size() == 0` but may be faster.
      Specified by:
        `isEmpty` in interface `ChildReferences`
      Returns:
        true if there are no references in this container, or false if there are.

    - #### getChild

          public ChildReference getChild(Name name)

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Look for the child reference that has the given name and a SNS index of '1'.
      Specified by:
        `getChild` in interface `ChildReferences`
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name for the node
      Returns:
        the child reference, or null if there is no such child

    - #### getChild

          public ChildReference getChild(Path.Segment segment)

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Look for the child reference that has the given name and SNS index.
      Specified by:
        `getChild` in interface `ChildReferences`
      Parameters:
        `segment` - the path segment, which defines the name and SNS index
      Returns:
        the child reference, or null if there is no such child

    - #### getChild

          public ChildReference getChild(Name name,
                                int snsIndex)

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Look for the child reference that has the given name and SNS index.
      Specified by:
        `getChild` in interface `ChildReferences`
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name for the node
        `snsIndex` - the same-name-sibling index; must be positive
      Returns:
        the child reference, or null if there is no such child

    - #### iterator

          public Iterator<ChildReference> iterator(Name name)

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Get an iterator over all of the children that have same name matching the supplied value. This essentially returns an iterator over all of the same-name-siblings.
      Specified by:
        `iterator` in interface `ChildReferences`

        `name` - the name of the same-name-sibling nodes; may not be null

      Description copied from interface: `ChildReferences`
      Get an iterator over all of the children that have `names` (excluding same-name-sibling indexes) matching at least one of the supplied patterns, using the supplied context. The resulting iterator is lazy where possible, but it may be an expensive call if there are large numbers of children.
