XPath(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XPath(3pm)NAME
XML::DOM::XPath - Perl extension to add XPath support to XML::DOM, using XML::XPath engine
SYNOPSIS
use XML::DOM::XPath;
my $parser= XML::DOM::Parser->new();
my $doc = $parser->parsefile ("file.xml");
# print all HREF attributes of all CODEBASE elements
# compare with the XML::DOM version to see how much easier it is to use
my @nodes = $doc->findnodes( '//CODEBASE[@HREF]/@HREF');
print $_->getValue, "
" foreach (@nodes);
DESCRIPTION
XML::DOM::XPath allows you to use XML::XPath methods to query a DOM. This is often much easier than relying only on getElementsByTagName.
It lets you use all of the XML::DOM methods.
METHODS
Those methods can be applied to a whole dom object or to a node.
findnodes($path)
return a list of nodes found by $path.
findnodes_as_string($path)
return the nodes found reproduced as XML. The result is not guaranteed to be valid XML though.
findvalue($path)
return the concatenation of the text content of the result nodes
exists($path)
return true if the given path exists.
matches($path)
return true if the node matches the path.

XPath::Node(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation 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. Compatibility 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 NAMESPACE_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).
MORE INFO
See the sub-classes for the meaning of the rest of the API:
o XML::XPath::Node::Element
o XML::XPath::Node::Attribute
o XML::XPath::Node::Namespace
o XML::XPath::Node::Text
o XML::XPath::Node::Comment
o XML::XPath::Node::PI

Hi folks,
I'm a bit of a novice at this but here goes. I want to read in nodes from an XML file, and map the path to each.
eg the file is structured
<node><nodename>.</nodename>

We've been getting a lot of XML questions lately, and I suspect it's only going to get worse better ... Normal shell utilities just can't handle it and the "proper" solutions, do-everything perl modules or things like xmlstarlet, just make my head ache.
