NAME

6       XML::LibXML::XPathExpression - XML::LibXML::XPathExpression - interface
7       to libxml2 pre-compiled XPath expressions
8

SYNOPSIS

10         use XML::LibXML;
11         my $compiled_xpath = XML::LibXML::XPathExpression->new('//foo[@bar="baz"][position()<4]');
12
13         # interface from XML::LibXML::Node
14
15         my $result = $node->find($compiled_xpath);
16         my @nodes = $node->findnodes($compiled_xpath);
17         my $value = $node->findvalue($compiled_xpath);
18
19         # interface from XML::LibXML::XPathContext
20
21         my $result = $xpc->find($compiled_xpath,$node);
22         my @nodes = $xpc->findnodes($compiled_xpath,$node);
23         my $value = $xpc->findvalue($compiled_xpath,$node);
24
25         $compiled = XML::LibXML::XPathExpression->new( xpath_string );
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This is a perl interface to libxml2's pre-compiled XPath expressions.
29       Pre-compiling an XPath expression can give in some performance benefit
30       if the same XPath query is evaluated many times.
31       "XML::LibXML::XPathExpression" objects can be passed to all "find..."
32       functions "XML::LibXML" that expect an XPath expression.
33
34       new()
35             $compiled = XML::LibXML::XPathExpression->new( xpath_string );
36
37           The constructor takes an XPath 1.0 expression as a string and
38           returns an object representing the pre-compiled expressions (the
39           actual data structure is internal to libxml2).
