I need to be able to iterate through the nodes in a DOM tree, and have been looking at both DOMNodeIterator and DOMTreeWalker, and I'm somewhat confused. Both classes seem to do very nearly the same thing. DOMTreeWalker has additional functionality that recognizes that it has a tree, methods dealing with the concepts of parent, sibling, and child nodes. However, if I'm reading the documentation right, if I create a DOMNodeIterator and a DOMTreeWalker with the same parameters, and just call nextNode repeatedly on each, the sequence of nodes I would get would be the same from both. The only exception I see is that DOMNodeIterator starts out with no current node. The first call to nextNode returns the root. While DOMTreeWalker starts out with the root being the current node.
Have I missed something? Given my understanding( which very well could be wrong! ) I can't see any reason why I would want to use a DOMNodeIterator.
