BaseFeatureCollection (Geotools modules 27-SNAPSHOT API)

Object
- BaseFeatureCollection<T,F>

All Implemented Interfaces:

FeatureCollection<T,F>

Direct Known Subclasses:

BaseSimpleFeatureCollection, ProcessingCollection, WFSContentComplexFeatureCollection
```
public abstract class BaseFeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
extends Object
implements FeatureCollection<T,F>
```
Implement a feature collection just based on provision of a FeatureIterator.
This implementation asks you to implement:
- features()
- This is the direct decentent of the origional AbstractFeatureCollection and represents the easiest way to package your content as a FeatureCollection.
  As this class provides no optimization, it is strongly recommended that you implement the following methods (which require a whole collection traversal):
  - size()
  - {@link #getBounds()

```
public String getID()
```
    Description copied from interface: FeatureCollection
    
    ID used when serializing to GML
    
    Specified by:
    
    getID in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
  - getSchema
```
public T getSchema()
```
    Description copied from interface: FeatureCollection
    The schema for the child feature members of this collection.
    Represents the most general FeatureType in common to all the features in this collection.
    - For a collection backed by a shapefiles (or database tables) the FeatureType returned by getSchema() will complete describe each and every child in the collection.
    - For mixed content FeatureCollections you will need to check the FeatureType of each Feature as it is retrived from the collection
    - The degenerate case returns the "_Feature" FeatureType, where the only thing known is that the contents are Features.
    Specified by:
    
    getSchema in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    FeatureType describing the "common" schema to all child features of this collection
  - features
```
public abstract FeatureIterator<F> features()
```
    Subclasses required to implement this method to traverse FeatureCollection contents.
    Note that FeatureIterator#close() is available to clean up after any resource use required during traversal.
    
    Specified by:
    
    features in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    A FeatureIterator.
  - contains
```
public boolean contains(Object o)
```
    Returns true if this collection contains the specified element. .
    This implementation iterates over the elements in the collection, checking each element in turn for equality with the specified element.
    
    Specified by:
    
    contains in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Parameters:
    
    o - object to be checked for containment in this collection.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this collection contains the specified element.
    
    See Also:
    
    Collection.contains(Object)
  - containsAll
```
public boolean containsAll(Collection<?> c)
```
    Returns true if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection.
    
    Specified by:
    
    containsAll in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - collection to be checked for containment in this collection.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection.
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if the specified collection is null.
    
    See Also:
    
    contains(Object)
  - isEmpty
```
public boolean isEmpty()
```
    Description copied from interface: FeatureCollection
    
    Returns true if this feature collection contains no features.
    
    Specified by:
    
    isEmpty in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this collection contains no elements.
  - toArray
```
public Object[] toArray()
```
    Array of all the elements.
    
    Specified by:
    
    toArray in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    an array containing all of the elements in this collection.

    Collection.toArray()
  - toArray
```

  - accepts
```
public void accepts(FeatureVisitor visitor,
                    ProgressListener progress)
             throws IOException
```
    Description copied from interface: FeatureCollection
    
    Visit the contents of a feature collection.
    The order of traversal is dependent on the FeatureCollection implementation; some collections are able to make efficient use of an internal index in order to quickly visit features located in the same region.
    
    Specified by:
    
    accepts in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Parameters:
    
    visitor - Closure applied to each feature in turn.
    
    progress - Used to report progress, may be used to interrupt the operation
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - subCollection
```
public FeatureCollection<T,F> subCollection(Filter filter)
```
    Convenience implementation that just wraps this collection into a FilteringFeatureCollection. Subclasses might want to override this in case the filter can be cascaded to their data sources.
    
    Specified by:
    
    subCollection in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    SimpleFeatureCollection identified as subset.
    
    See Also:
    
    FeatureList
  - sort
```
public FeatureCollection<T,F> sort(SortBy order)
```
    Obtained sorted contents, only implemented for SimpleFeature at present.
    This method only supports SimpleFeature at present, consider use of FeatureSource.features( Query ).
    
    Specified by:
    
    sort in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Parameters:
    
    order - Sort order
    
    Returns:
    
    FeatureCollection sorted in the indicated order
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Returns the number of elements in this collection.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    Number of items, or Interger.MAX_VALUE
    
    See Also:
    
    Collection.size()
  - getBounds
```
public ReferencedEnvelope getBounds()
```
    Full collection traversal to obtain bounds of FeatureCollection. Subclasees are strong encouraged to override this expensive method (even if just to implement caching).
    
    Specified by:
    
    getBounds in interface FeatureCollection<T extends FeatureType,F extends Feature>
    
    Returns:
    
    An Envelope containing the total bounds of this collection.
