# openvrml::node_impl_util Namespace Reference

## Detailed Description

Utility classes to facilitate node implementations.

While the API comprising the members of the `openvrml` namespace provides everything necessary to implement nodes, node implementation can be very verbose. The members of the `openvrml::node_impl_util` namespace can make node implementation more concise by abstracting and providing code that many node implementations are likely to have in common.

In particular, `node_type_impl` centralizes the logic for generalized field access. By using an instance of this class template for your `openvrml::node_type` implementation you can avoid a lot of tedious and repetitive code to implement `openvrml::node::do_field`, `openvrml::node::do_event_listener`, and `openvrml::node::do_event_emitter`.
