Detailed Description

An XPath node which can store handles to a XML::Node or an XML::Attribute.

Because an XPath node can be either a XML::Node or an XML::Attribute, there is a special type, XPathNode, which is a discriminated union of these types. A value of this type contains two node handles, one of XML::Node type, and another one of XML::Attribute type; at most one of them can be non-null. The accessors to get these handles are available: XPathNode::GetNode() an XPathNode::GetAttribute() .

XPath nodes can be null, in which case both accessors return null handles.

Attribute Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::GetAttribute

(

)

const

Get the XML::Attribute this is referencing.

Returns

A valid XML::Attribute, or a null node if this doesn't reference a an XML::Attribute.

Node Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::GetNode

(

)

const

Get the XML::Node this is referencing.

Returns

A valid XML::Node, or a null node if this doesn't reference a an XML::Node.

Node Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::GetParent

(

)

const

Get the parent of the XML::Node or XML::Attribute this refers to.

Returns

A valid XML::Node, or a null node if this doesn't reference a an XML::Node.

Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::operator unspecified_bool_type

(

)

const

Used to convert this to a boolean value in a safe way.

Returns

Returns true if the internal data is set and false otherwise.

Note

Not available in scripting languages.

bool Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::operator!

(

)

const

Logical not operator, used a workaround for borland compiler.

Returns

A bool that is the opposite of evaluatig this as a bool normally.

bool Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::operator!=

(

const XPathNode &

n

)

const

Called when comparing two XPathNode instances for inequality.

Parameters

n	The other XML::XPathNode to compare this Node against for inequality.

Returns

True if this and the other XML::XPathNode are referencing the same item, false otherwise;

bool Mezzanine::XML::XPathNode::operator==

(

const XPathNode &

n

)

const

Called when comparing two XPathNode instances for equality.

Parameters

n	The other XML::XPathNode to compare this Node against for equality.

Returns

True if this and the other XML::XPathNode are referencing the same item, false otherwise;
