[−][src]Function sxd_xpath_visitor::evaluate_xpath
pub fn evaluate_xpath<'d>(
document: &'d Document<'d>,
xpath: &str
) -> Result<Value<'d>, Error>
Easily evaluate an XPath expression
The core XPath 1.0 functions will be available, and no variables or namespaces will be defined. The root of the document is the context node.
If you will be evaluating multiple XPaths or the same XPath multiple times, this may not be the most performant solution.
Examples
use sxd_document::parser; use sxd_xpath::{evaluate_xpath, Value}; fn main() { let package = parser::parse("<root><a>1</a><b>2</b></root>").expect("failed to parse the XML"); let document = package.as_document(); assert_eq!(Ok(Value::Number(3.0)), evaluate_xpath(&document, "/*/a + /*/b")); }
