## org.dom4j.util
Class UserDataAttribute

    java.lang.Object
      org.dom4j.tree.AbstractNode
          org.dom4j.tree.AbstractAttribute
              org.dom4j.tree.FlyweightAttribute
                  org.dom4j.tree.DefaultAttribute
                      org.dom4j.util.UserDataAttribute

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Attribute, Cloneable, Node, Serializable

public class UserDataAttribute
extends DefaultAttribute

`UserDataAttribute` support the adornment of a user data object on an Element or Attribute instance such that the methods `setData(Object)`will get and set the values of a user data object. This can be useful for developers wishing to create XML trees and adorn the trees with user defined objects.
