SimpleTaxon (biojava-legacy 1.9.5 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.biojava.utils.AbstractChangeable
- - org.biojava.bio.taxa.AbstractTaxon
  - - org.biojava.bio.taxa.SimpleTaxon

All Implemented Interfaces:

Annotatable, Taxon, Changeable
```
public class SimpleTaxon
extends AbstractTaxon
```
Deprecated.
replaced by classes in org.biojavax.bio.taxa

A no-frills implementatation of Taxon.
A TaxonFactory implementation will probably wish to sub-class this and add package-private accessors for the parent and children fields as well as a pacakge-private constructor.

```
public Taxon getParent()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: Taxon
    
    The parent of this Taxon.
    
    Taxa live within a tree data-structure, so every taxon has a single parent except for the root type. This has the null parent.
    
    Returns:
    
    the parent Taxon, or null if this is the root type.
  - getChildren
```
public Set getChildren()
```
    Deprecated.
    
    Description copied from interface: Taxon
    
    The children of this Taxon.
    
    Taxa live within a tree data-structure, so every taxon has zero or more children. In the case of zero children, the empty set is returned.
    
    ? read-only ? dynamicaly updated with taxon object ? copy of data ?
    
    Returns:
    
    the Set (possibly empty) of all child Taxa
