- PARAM elements represented by children of this group
-
getFields
Returns an array of the FIELDs associated with this group. The returned list contains the FIELD elements referenced by the FIELDref children of this element. Any FIELDref which doesn't reference an existing FIELD is ignored. The result is in the same order as the children.- Returns:
- FIELD elements represented by children of this group
-
getGroups
Returns the GROUP children of this element.- Returns:
- group elements which are direct children of this
