class Node(collections.abc.Sized):
    """
    Represents a node in the concrete or abstract syntax tree.

    Attributes:
        tag_name (str):  The name of the node, which is either its
            parser's name or, if that is empty, the parser's class name

        result (str or tuple):  The result of the parser which
            generated this node, which can be either a string or a
            tuple of child nodes.

        children (tuple):  The tuple of child nodes or an empty tuple
            if there are no child nodes. READ ONLY!

        content (str):  Yields the contents of the tree as string. The
            difference to ``str(node)`` is that ``node.content`` does
            not add the error messages to the returned string.

        parser (Parser):  The parser which generated this node.
            WARNING: In case you use mock syntax trees for testing or
            parser replacement during the AST-transformation: DO NOT
            rely on this being a real parser object in any phase after
            parsing (i.e. AST-transformation and compiling), for
            example by calling ``isinstance(node.parer, ...)``.

        len (int):  The full length of the node's string result if the
            node is a leaf node or, otherwise, the concatenated string
            result's of its descendants. The figure always represents
            the length before AST-transformation and will never change
            through AST-transformation. READ ONLY!

        pos (int):  the position of the node within the parsed text.

            The value of ``pos`` is -1 meaning invalid by default.
            Setting this value will set the positions of all child
            nodes relative to this value.

            To set the pos values of all nodes in a syntax tree, the
            pos value of the root node should be set to 0 right
            after parsing.

            Other than that, this value should be considered READ ONLY.
            At any rate, it should only be reassigned during the parsing
            stage and never during or after the AST-transformation.

        errors (list):  A list of all errors that occured on this node.

        attributes (dict): An optional dictionary of XML-attributes. This
            dictionary is created lazily upon first usage. The attributes
            will only be shown in the XML-Representation, not in the
            S-Expression-output.
