public List<E> getTopLevelNodes() Retrieve a `List` with the top elements. In the standard use case this list will only contain a single element. Additional elements can only occur, if `HierarchicalStreamWriter#startNode(String)` of the implementing `HierarchicalStreamWriter` was called multiple times with an empty node stack. Such a situation occurs calling `com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream#marshal(Object, HierarchicalStreamWriter)` multiple times directly. Returns:List<E> a `List` with top nodes Since 1.2.1
