Method Detail

getExpressionNode

IASNode getExpressionNode()

Gets the value of the node as an IExpressionNode. In a primitive case such as abc the value will be an ILiteralNode. In a databinding case such as {employee.name} the value will be an IMXMLDataBindingNode. In a mixed case such as Hello, {name} the value will be an IMXMLConcatenatedDataBindingNode.

Returns:

An IExpressionNode representing the value of the tag.
