Intro

In the realm of Volta Books, we encounter a distinctive form of book that operates on files. These books are comprised of two fundamental elements: DocumentNodes and ResourceNodes. Within this structure, each DocumentNode has the potential to be linked to zero or more other DocumentNodes. When a DocumentNode exists independently, without a parent, it assumes the role of either a RootNode or BookNode.

To earn the classification of a DocumentNode, specific criteria must be met. A directory must contain two obligatory files within it. The first file is named "content.*" and serves as the repository for the document's content. The second file, "meta.json," is essential, and it must adhere to the standards of a valid JSON file, serving as the storage space for crucial metadata. Volta Books are versatile in the types of content they accept, including plain text files, HTML, XHTML files, and even PHP files.

usage

To get a Node, any Node, we pass the (absolute) path to the Node::factory() or the relative path to the Node::getChild() method of a Node instance. These methods will return a valid Node or will raise an Exception if the path does not contain a Node.
