      public class IIOInvalidTreeException
      extends IIOException

  An `IIOInvalidTreeException` is thrown when an attempt by an `IIOMetadata` object to parse a tree of `IIOMetadataNode`s fails. The node that led to the parsing error may be stored. As with any parsing error, the actual error may occur at a different point that that where it is detected. The node returned by `getOffendingNode` should merely be considered as a clue to the actual nature of the problem.

          public IIOInvalidTreeException​(String message,
                                         Node offendingNode)

      Constructs an `IIOInvalidTreeException` with a message string and a reference to the `Node` that caused the parsing error.
      Parameters:
        `message` - a `String` containing the reason for the parsing failure.
        `offendingNode` - the DOM `Node` that caused the exception, or `null`.
