var n = new Node('root');
n.set('a', 2);

n.set('a.c', 7);

var c, i = n.iterator();
while ((c = i.next()) !== undefined) {
  console.log(c.value);
}

Node API

• Node(name): Returns a new Node with the given name. The name must be of type string and not empty.
• name: The name of the node
• value: The value of the node
• children: The list of children (see live-list)
• set(name, value): Sets the value of the named node. If the node does not exist, it is created and added to the children by calling _add(node). The value is changed by calling _value(value).
• get(name): Returns the value of the named node. If the node does not exist, undefined is returned.
• remove(name): Removes the named node. If it has children, the value is deleted. Parent nodes in the path with no value and no remaining children will be removed as well.
• removeAll(): Removes all child nodes
• node(name): Return the named node or undefined if the node does not exist
• _add(node): Called by set to add a node to the children. The default implementation does this.children.push(node);.
• _value(value): Called by set to change the value. The default implementation does this.value = value;.
• toObject(): Returns a plain object representation of the node and it's children
• iterator(): Returns a new Iterator

Iterator API

The iterator is derived from min-iterator.

• Iterator(node): Returns a new Iterator using the given root node
• next(): Returns the next node in the tree. If there are no items left, undefined is returned.
