Class ContentElement

Base class for all content elements in the document content tree. It contains methods to retrieve instances of derived classes via the asDerivedClass() methods. The pattern is to retrieve a MaybeDerivedClass object and then check if it is valid via the isValid() method of the MaybeDerivedClass object. If it is valid, the actual derived instance can be retrieved from the MaybeDerivedClass object.
