```
public interface NodeResolver
```
A function to resolve nodes for a specific field.
A NodeResolver.Factory is responsible for creating node resolvers for each field in an object, and provides the context necessary for a resolver to determine which node to navigate to.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`static NodeResolver.Factory`	`keyFromSetting()`	Creates resolvers that get the node at a key defined by `Setting`.
`static NodeResolver.Factory`	`nodeFromParent()`	A resolver that uses the containing node of a field.
`static NodeResolver.Factory`	`nodeKey()`	Creates resolvers that provide the key of the containing node for values.
`static NodeResolver.Factory`	`onlyWithAnnotation(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotation)`	A resolver that skips any field not annotated with `annotation`.
`static NodeResolver.Factory`	`onlyWithSetting()`	A resolver that will skip any field not annotated with `Setting`.
`@Nullable ConfigurationNode`	`resolve(ConfigurationNode parent)`	Given a parent node, resolve an appropriate child.

```
@Nullable ConfigurationNode resolve(ConfigurationNode parent)
```
    Given a parent node, resolve an appropriate child.
    The parent node is the node that the mapped object is being deserialized from.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parent - parent node
    
    Returns:
    
    child node, or null if the node should not be deserialized.
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - nodeKey
```
static NodeResolver.Factory nodeKey()
```
    Creates resolvers that provide the key of the containing node for values.
    
    Returns:
    
    key-based resolver
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - keyFromSetting
```
static NodeResolver.Factory keyFromSetting()
```
    Creates resolvers that get the node at a key defined by Setting.
    
    Returns:
    
    a factory that will extract keys from a provided annotation
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - onlyWithAnnotation
```
static NodeResolver.Factory onlyWithAnnotation(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotation)
```
    A resolver that skips any field not annotated with annotation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    annotation - annotation to require
    
    Returns:
    
    a new resolver
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - onlyWithSetting
```
static NodeResolver.Factory onlyWithSetting()
```
    A resolver that will skip any field not annotated with Setting.
    
    Returns:
    
    new resolver restricting fields
    
    Since:
    
    4.0.0
  - nodeFromParent
```
static NodeResolver.Factory nodeFromParent()
```
    A resolver that uses the containing node of a field.
    This can be used to combine multiple Java objects into one configuration node.
    
    Returns:
    
    new resolver using containing field value
