The evaluation of XPath expressions is provided by XPathEvaluator. In a DOM implementation which supports the XPath 3.0 feature, as described above, the XPathEvaluator interface will be implemented on the same object which implements the Document interface permitting it to be obtained by the usual binding-specific method such as casting or by using the DOM Level 3 getInterface method. In this case the implementation obtained from the Document supports the XPath DOM module and is compatible with the XPath 1.0 specification.
A D V E R T I S E M E N T
Adapts any DOM node to resolve namespaces so that an XPath expression
can be easily evaluated relative to the context of the node where it
appeared within the document. This adapter works like the DOM Level 3
method lookupNamespaceURI on nodes in resolving the
namespaceURI from a given prefix using the current information
available in the node's hierarchy at the time lookupNamespaceURI is
called. also correctly resolving the implicit xml prefix.
