025/**
026 * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the {@code Iterator}
027 * interface, to make this interface easier to implement for certain types of
028 * data sources.
029 *
030 * <p>{@code Iterator} requires its implementations to support querying the
031 * end-of-data status without changing the iterator's state, using the {@link
032 * #hasNext} method. But many data sources, such as {@link
033 * java.io.Reader#read()}, do not expose this information; the only way to
034 * discover whether there is any data left is by trying to retrieve it. These
035 * types of data sources are ordinarily difficult to write iterators for. But
036 * using this class, one must implement only the {@link #computeNext} method,
037 * and invoke the {@link #endOfData} method when appropriate.
038 *
039 * <p>Another example is an iterator that skips over null elements in a backing
040 * iterator. This could be implemented as: <pre>   {@code
041 *
042 *   public static Iterator<String> skipNulls(final Iterator<String> in) {
043 *     return new AbstractIterator<String>() {
044 *       protected String computeNext() {
045 *         while (in.hasNext()) {
046 *           String s = in.next();
047 *           if (s != null) {
048 *             return s;
049 *           }
050 *         }
051 *         return endOfData();
052 *       }
053 *     };
054 *   }}</pre>
055 *
056 * <p>This class supports iterators that include null elements.
