<title>Treeql Low Level API</title>
<header>
<p>Treeql is a fairly thin query facility over Trees. It implements an ordered set of nodes which are generated and filtered by application of the treeql query language to each node in turn.</p>

<group>
<name>Tree Transformers</name>
<header>These are low level functional transformers which apply operations to the underlying tree via the node set, and generate a new node set.</header>
