@PublicApi
public interface GraphQLSchemaElement
```
A GraphQLSchema can be viewed as a graph of GraphQLSchemaElement. Every node (vertex) of this graph implements this interface.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`TraversalControl`	`accept(TraverserContext<GraphQLSchemaElement> context, GraphQLTypeVisitor visitor)`
`GraphQLSchemaElement`	`copy()`	Each GraphQLSchemaElement should make a copy of itself when this is called.
`boolean`	`equals(java.lang.Object obj)`	No GraphQLSchemaElement implements `equals` because we need object identity to treat a GraphQLSchema as an abstract graph.
`default java.util.List<GraphQLSchemaElement>`	`getChildren()`
`default SchemaElementChildrenContainer`	`getChildrenWithTypeReferences()`
`int`	`hashCode()`	No GraphQLSchemaElement implements `equals/hashCode` because we need object identity to treat a GraphQLSchema as an abstract graph.
`default GraphQLSchemaElement`	`withNewChildren(SchemaElementChildrenContainer newChildren)`

- Method Detail
  - getChildren
```
default java.util.List<GraphQLSchemaElement> getChildren()
```
  - getChildrenWithTypeReferences
```
default SchemaElementChildrenContainer getChildrenWithTypeReferences()
```
  - withNewChildren
```
default GraphQLSchemaElement withNewChildren(SchemaElementChildrenContainer newChildren)
```
  - accept
```
TraversalControl accept(TraverserContext<GraphQLSchemaElement> context,
                        GraphQLTypeVisitor visitor)
```
  - equals
```
boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
```
    No GraphQLSchemaElement implements `equals` because we need object identity to treat a GraphQLSchema as an abstract graph.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    obj - the reference object with which to compare.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.
  - hashCode
```
int hashCode()
```
    No GraphQLSchemaElement implements `equals/hashCode` because we need object identity to treat a GraphQLSchema as an abstract graph.
    
    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    a hash code value for this object.
  - copy
```
GraphQLSchemaElement copy()
```
    Each GraphQLSchemaElement should make a copy of itself when this is called. The copy should be included its current contents as they currently exist into a new object.
    
    Returns:
    
    a copy of this element
