.SH "NAME"
XML::XPath::Node \- internal representation of a node
.SH "API"
.IX Header "API"
The Node \s-1API\s0 aims to emulate \s-1DOM\s0 to some extent, however the \s-1API\s0
isn't quite compatible with \s-1DOM.\s0 This is to ease transition from
\&\s-1XML::DOM\s0 programming to XML::XPath. Compatibility with \s-1DOM\s0 may
arise once \s-1XML::DOM\s0 gets namespace support.
.SS "new"
.IX Subsection "new"
Creates a new node. See the sub-classes for parameters to pass to \fBnew()\fR.
.SS "getNodeType"
.IX Subsection "getNodeType"
Returns one of \s-1ELEMENT_NODE, TEXT_NODE, COMMENT_NODE, ATTRIBUTE_NODE,
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE\s0 or \s-1NAMESPACE_NODE. UNKNOWN_NODE\s0 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
\&\s-1XML::DOM\s0 versions.
.SS "getParentNode"
.IX Subsection "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.
.ie n .SS "to_sax ( $handler | %handlers )"
.el .SS "to_sax ( \f(CW$handler\fP | \f(CW%handlers\fP )"
.IX Subsection "to_sax ( $handler | %handlers )"
Generates sax calls to the handler or handlers. See the PerlSAX docs for
details (not yet implemented correctly).
