NAME

       XML::XPath::Literal - Simple string values.

DESCRIPTION

       In XPath terms a Literal is what we know as a string.

API

   new($string)
       Create a new Literal object with the value in $string. Note that " and ' will be converted to " and ' respectively. That is not
       part of the XPath specification, but I consider it useful. Note though that you have to go to extraordinary lengths in an XML template file
       (be it XSLT or whatever) to make use of this:

	       <xsl:value-of select="&quot;I'm feeling &amp;quot;sad&amp;quot;&quot;"/>

       Which produces a Literal of:

	       I'm feeling "sad"

   value()
       Also overloaded as stringification, simply returns the literal string value.

   cmp($literal)
       Returns the equivalent of perl's cmp operator against the given $literal.

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).
