NAME
XML::LibXML::Namespace - XML::LibXML Namespace Implementation
SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML;
# Only methods specific to Namespace nodes are listed here,
# see the XML::LibXML::Node manpage for other methods
my $ns = XML::LibXML::Namespace->new($nsURI);
print $ns->nodeName();
print $ns->name();
$localname = $ns->getLocalName();
print $ns->getData();
print $ns->getValue();
print $ns->value();
$known_uri = $ns->getNamespaceURI();
$known_prefix = $ns->getPrefix();
$key = $ns->unique_key();
DESCRIPTION
Namespace nodes are returned by both $element->findnodes('namespace::foo') or by
$node->getNamespaces().
The namespace node API is not part of any current DOM API, and so it is quite minimal. It
should be noted that namespace nodes are not a sub class of XML::LibXML::Node, however
Namespace nodes act a lot like attribute nodes, and similarly named methods will return
what you would expect if you treated the namespace node as an attribute. Note that in
order to fix several inconsistencies between the API and the documentation, the behavior
of some functions have been changed in 1.64.
METHODS
new
my $ns = XML::LibXML::Namespace->new($nsURI);
Creates a new Namespace node. Note that this is not a 'node' as an attribute or an
element node. Therefore you can't do call all XML::LibXML::Node Functions. All
functions available for this node are listed below.
Optionally you can pass the prefix to the namespace constructor. If this second
parameter is omitted you will create a so called default namespace. Note, the newly
created namespace is not bound to any document or node, therefore you should not
expect it to be available in an existing document.
declaredURI
Returns the URI for this namespace.
declaredPrefix
Returns the prefix for this namespace.
nodeName
print $ns->nodeName();
Returns "xmlns:prefix", where prefix is the prefix for this namespace.
name
print $ns->name();
Alias for nodeName()
getLocalName
$localname = $ns->getLocalName();
Returns the local name of this node as if it were an attribute, that is, the prefix
associated with the namespace.
getData
print $ns->getData();
Returns the URI of the namespace, i.e. the value of this node as if it were an
attribute.
getValue
print $ns->getValue();
Alias for getData()
value
print $ns->value();
Alias for getData()
getNamespaceURI
$known_uri = $ns->getNamespaceURI();
Returns the string "http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/"
getPrefix
$known_prefix = $ns->getPrefix();
Returns the string "xmlns"
unique_key
$key = $ns->unique_key();
This method returns a key guaranteed to be unique for this namespace, and to always be
the same value for this namespace. Two namespace objects return the same key if and
only if they have the same prefix and the same URI. The returned key value is useful
as a key in hashes.
