XPath performs the addressing of knots in an XML instance. The following concepts are relevant for this addressing:
- The XML instance
- The JAXFront-type-tree (JAXFront DOM).
It is important to know what is addressed with an XPath statement:
- A list of elements
- All elements
- A single element
JAXFront uses its own XPath extension, because the "normal" XPath syntax does not distinguish between list types (container) and the contents of their element.
- /../NodeA[list]
- /../NodeB[text]
- /../NodeA[3]
