NAME

XML::LibXML::Namespace - A Namespace Class to hold namespace nodes

synopsis

 use XML::LibXML

 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.

Methods

new

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 ommited 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.

getName

Returns ``xmlns:prefix'', where prefix is the prefix for this namespace.

name

Alias for getName()

prefix

Returns the prefix bound to this namespace declaration.

getLocalName

Alias for prefix()

getData

Returns the URI of the namespace.

getValue

Alias for getData()

value

Alias for getData()

uri

Alias for getData()

getNamespaceURI

Returns the string ``http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/''

getPrefix

Returns the string ``xmlns''
