NAME

6       XML::DOM::NodeList - A node list as used by XML::DOM
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The NodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collec‐
10       tion of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is
11       implemented.
12
13       The items in the NodeList are accessible via an integral index, start‐
14       ing from 0.
15
16       Although the DOM spec states that all NodeLists are "live" in that they
17       allways reflect changes to the DOM tree, the NodeList returned by
18       getElementsByTagName is not live in this implementation. See CAVEATS
19       for details.

21       METHODS
22
23       item (index)
24           Returns the indexth item in the collection. If index is greater
25           than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns
26           undef.
27
28       getLength
29           The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node
30           indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.
31
32       Additional methods not in the DOM Spec
33
34       dispose
35           Removes all circular references in this NodeList and its descen‐
36           dants so the objects can be claimed for garbage collection. The
37           objects should not be used afterwards.
