        `attValue` - value of requird attrivutes

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### empty

          public static final ElementCriteria empty()

      Makes criteria object what accepts all elements.
      Returns:
        criteria

    - #### name

          public static final ElementCriteria name(String name)

      Makes criteria object to check name of element.
      Parameters:
        `name` - expected element name.
      Returns:
        criteria

    - #### name

          public static final ElementCriteria name(String name,
                                                   String xmlns)

      Makes criteria object to check name of element and its namespace.
      Parameters:
        `name` - expected name of element.
        `xmlns` - expected xmlns
      Returns:
        criteria

    - #### name

          public static final ElementCriteria name(String name,
                                                   String[] attNames,

      Returns:
        criteria

    - #### add

          public Criteria add(Criteria criteria)

      Adds restriction for deeper level of elements.

      For example:
      If you have structure of elements: `<A><B></B></A>`
      then, to check elements `A` and `B` you should use construction like this: `critToCheckA.add(critToCheckB);`

      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `Criteria`
      Parameters:
        `criteria` - restriction to add
