    68 These provide similar functionality to functions defined in WebCore::Node, but will traverse composed shadow tree order, not original DOM tree order.

    6970These function doesn’t return the result node. All returns ‘void’. Instead, these will update the walker’s internal state, a current visited node. You can get the current visited node by walker.get() function.

    8283Notes:
    83 1. Some nodes (E, F and I) do not participate in the composed shadow tree because they are children (or descendants) of shadow host, but are not distributed. These nodes are treated as separated ‘islands’. e.g. E’s parent() is null, not B.
    84 2. You could not pass an active InsertionPoint (H, K and M) or a ShadowRoot as a starting node. That should trigger an assertion error.

    95 If a walker is constructed with a policy of DoNotCrossUpperBoundary, youngest ShadowRoots will be also a candidate of visiting nodes and won’t be skipped. Youngest ShadowRoots will act as a top-most node in scope, like a Document node in original DOM tree.
     96If a walker is constructed with a policy of `DoNotCrossUpperBoundary`, youngest ShadowRoots will be also a candidate of visiting nodes and won’t be skipped. Youngest ShadowRoots will act as a top-most node in scope, like a Document node in original DOM tree.

    121121To be compared to Node::traverseNextNode() function, walker::next() is about 6 times slower. The result of a micro benchmark is here:

    123 * The result is based on old APIs. The current walker is a bit faster than old APIs.

    130 FocusController (*1) started to use ComposedShadowTreeWalker to traverse composed shadow DOM tree. That’s good example about how to use APIs. That also uses DoNotCrossUpperBoundary policy since Focus navigation should be scoped in each Shadow DOM subtree according to the current Shadow DOM spec. Although FocusNavigation is complex since it should consider each shadow DOM subteee as a ‘scope’, the APIs made implementations much easier since much complex works are done within APIs.
