XML::DOM::NodeList(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::DOM::NodeList(3pm)
NAME
XML::DOM::NodeList - A node list as used by XML::DOM
DESCRIPTION
The NodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes, without
defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.
The items in the NodeList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.
Although the DOM spec states that all NodeLists are "live" in that they always reflect
changes to the DOM tree, the NodeList returned by getElementsByTagName is not live in this
implementation. See CAVEATS for details.
METHODS
item (index)
Returns the indexth item in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the
number of nodes in the list, this returns undef.
getLength
The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node indices is 0 to
length-1 inclusive.
Additional methods not in the DOM Spec
dispose
Removes all circular references in this NodeList and its descendants so the objects
can be claimed for garbage collection. The objects should not be used afterwards.
