XML::LibXML::Namespace - XML::LibXML Namespace Implementation

NAME

XML::LibXML::Namespace - XML::LibXML Namespace Implementation

SYNOPSIS

  my $ns = XML::LibXML::Namespace->new($nsURI);
  print $ns->getName()
  print $ns->name()
  print $ns->prefix()
  $localname = $ns->getLocalName()
  print $ns->getData()
  print $ns->getValue()
  print $ns->value()
  print $ns->uri()
  $known_uri = $ns->getNamespaceURI()
  $known_prefix = $ns->getPredix()

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.

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 docuement or node, therefore you should not expect it to be available in an existing document.
