Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`T`	`getItem()`	Returns the user item stored in a terminal node (or null in an internal node).
`byte[]`	`getValue()`	Returns a new byte array with the value of the byte sequence represented by this node (slow, built from scratch every time).
`boolean`	`isTerminal()`	Returns whether this node represents a byte sequence in the trie or just an internal node on our way down to one.
`int`	`length()`	Returns the length of the byte sequence represented by this node (cached integer, very fast).
