Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`DotIdentifierSequence`	`append(String subPathName)`	Add a new part to the end of this sequence, returning the new representation.
`String`	`getFullPath()`	The full sequence text.
`String`	`getLocalName()`	The name of this sequence part.
`DotIdentifierSequence`	`getParent()`	The parent sequence part.
`default boolean`	`isRoot()`	Is this sequence node the root of the sequence.
`default <T> T`	`resolve(T base, BiFunction<T,String,T> baseResolver, BiFunction<T,String,T> resolver)`

- Method Detail
  - getParent
```
DotIdentifierSequence getParent()
```
    The parent sequence part. E.g., given the sequence `a.b.c`, this returns `a.b`
  - getLocalName
```
String getLocalName()
```
    The name of this sequence part. E.g., given the sequence `a.b.c`, this returns `c`
  - getFullPath
```
String getFullPath()
```
    The full sequence text. E.g., given the sequence `a.b.c`, this returns `a.b.c`
  - append
```
DotIdentifierSequence append(String subPathName)
```
    Add a new part to the end of this sequence, returning the new representation. E.g., given the sequence `a.b.c` and appending `d` would return a new sequence `a.b.c.d`
  - isRoot
```
default boolean isRoot()
```
    Is this sequence node the root of the sequence. Same as checking the nullness of getParent()
  - resolve
```
default <T> T resolve(T base,
                      BiFunction<T,String,T> baseResolver,
                      BiFunction<T,String,T> resolver)
```
