/**
* Creates a NodeIterator object. (DOM2)
*
* NodeIterators are used to step through a set of nodes, e.g. the set of nodes in a NodeList, the
* document subtree governed by a particular node, the results of a query, or any other set of nodes.
* The set of nodes to be iterated is determined by the implementation of the NodeIterator. DOM Level 2
* specifies a single NodeIterator implementation for document-order traversal of a document subtree.
* Instances of these iterators are created by calling <code>DOMDocumentTraversal.createNodeIterator()</code>.
*
* To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded and does not
* expose the entity reference node itself, use the <code>whatToShow</code> flags to hide the entity
* reference node and set expandEntityReferences to true when creating the iterator. To
* produce a view of the document that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion,
* use the <code>whatToShow</code> flags to show the entity reference node and set
* expandEntityReferences to false.
*
* @param root The root node of the DOM tree
* @param whatToShow This attribute determines which node types are presented via the iterator.
* @param filter The filter used to screen nodes
* @param entityReferenceExpansion The value of this flag determines whether the children of entity reference nodes are
* visible to the iterator. If false, they will be skipped over.
* @since DOM Level 2

/**
* Creates a TreeWalker object. (DOM2)
*
* TreeWalker objects are used to navigate a document tree or subtree using the view of the document defined
* by its whatToShow flags and any filters that are defined for the TreeWalker. Any function which performs
* navigation using a TreeWalker will automatically support any view defined by a TreeWalker.
*
* Omitting nodes from the logical view of a subtree can result in a structure that is substantially different from
* the same subtree in the complete, unfiltered document. Nodes that are siblings in the TreeWalker view may
* be children of different, widely separated nodes in the original view. For instance, consider a Filter that skips
* all nodes except for DOMText nodes and the root node of a document. In the logical view that results, all text
* nodes will be siblings and appear as direct children of the root node, no matter how deeply nested the
* structure of the original document.
*
* To produce a view of the document that has entity references expanded
* and does not expose the entity reference node itself, use the whatToShow
* flags to hide the entity reference node and set <code>expandEntityReferences</code> to
* true when creating the TreeWalker. To produce a view of the document
* that has entity reference nodes but no entity expansion, use the
* <code>whatToShow</code> flags to show the entity reference node and set

* @param root The root node of the DOM tree
* @param whatToShow This attribute determines which node types are presented via the tree-walker.
* @param filter The filter used to screen nodes

* visible to the tree-walker. If false, they will be skipped over.
