Class PathExpression

java.lang.Object

to.etc.xml.PathExpression

public class PathExpression
extends Object

Encapsulates a path into an XML expression. It consists of a set of PathSelector nodes in a list that get executed in order to get to a given value within an XML structure. The matcher code is not very efficient as it traverses the DOM from start to finish every time a value needs to be got.
