XML::LibXML::Namespace(3)            User Contributed Perl Documentation           XML::LibXML::Namespace(3)



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.

       getName
             print $ns->getName();

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

       name
             print $ns->name();

           Alias for getName()

       prefix
             print $ns->prefix();

           Returns the prefix bound to this namespace declaration.

       getLocalName
             $localname = $ns->getLocalName();

           Alias for prefix()

       getData
             print $ns->getData();

           Returns the URI of the namespace.

       getValue
             print $ns->getValue();

           Alias for getData()

       value
             print $ns->value();

           Alias for getData()

       uri
             print $ns->uri();

           Alias for getData()

       getNamespaceURI
             $known_uri = $ns->getNamespaceURI();

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

       getPrefix
             $known_prefix = $ns->getPredix();

           Returns the string "xmlns"
