xpath::node(3)
NAME
XML::XPath::Node - internal representation of a node
API
The Node API aims to emulate DOM to some extent, however
the API isn't quite compatible with DOM. This is to ease
transition from XML::DOM programming to XML::XPath. Com
patibility with DOM may arise once XML::DOM gets namespace
support.
new
Creates a new node. See the sub-classes for parameters to
pass to new().
getNodeType
Returns one of ELEMENT_NODE, TEXT_NODE, COMMENT_NODE,
ATTRIBUTE_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE or NAMES
PACE_NODE. UNKNOWN_NODE is returned if the sub-class
doesn't implement getNodeType - but that means something
is broken! The constants are exported by default from
XML::XPath::Node. The constants have the same numeric
value as the XML::DOM versions.
getParentNode
Returns the parent of this node, or undef if this is the
root node. Note that the root node is the root node in
terms of XPath - not the root element node.
to_sax ( $handler | %handlers )
Generates sax calls to the handler or handlers. See the
PerlSAX docs for details (not yet implemented correctly).
