XPathResult interface represents the result of the
evaluation of an XPath 1.0 expression within the context of a particular
node. Since evaluation of an XPath expression can result in various
result types, this object makes it possible to discover and manipulate
the type and value of the result.
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 XPath Specification.
| Modifier and Type | Field and Description |
|---|---|
| public static final short | ANY_TYPE
This code does not represent a specific type. |
| public static final short | ANY_UNORDERED_NODE_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by and will be accessed as a
single node, which may be |
| public static final short | BOOLEAN_TYPE
The result is a boolean as defined by . |
| public static final short | FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by and will be accessed as a
single node, which may be |
| public static final short | NUMBER_TYPE
The result is a number as defined by . |
| public static final short | ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed iteratively, which will produce document-ordered nodes. |
| public static final short | ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed as a snapshot list of nodes that will be in original document order. |
| public static final short | STRING_TYPE
The result is a string as defined by . |
| public static final short | UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed iteratively, which may not produce nodes in a particular order. |
| public static final short | UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE
The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed as a snapshot list of nodes that may not be in a particular order. |

| ANY_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short ANY_TYPE This code does not represent a specific type. An evaluation of an XPath
expression will never produce this type. If this type is requested,
then the evaluation returns whatever type naturally results from
evaluation of the expression.
| |
| ANY_UNORDERED_NODE_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short ANY_UNORDERED_NODE_TYPE The result is a node set as defined by and will be accessed as a
single node, which may be | |
| BOOLEAN_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short BOOLEAN_TYPE The result is a boolean as defined by . Document modification does not invalidate the boolean, but may mean that reevaluation would not yield the same boolean. | |
| FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short FIRST_ORDERED_NODE_TYPE The result is a node set as defined by and will be accessed as a
single node, which may be | |
| NUMBER_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short NUMBER_TYPE The result is a number as defined by . Document modification does not invalidate the number, but may mean that reevaluation would not yield the same number. | |
| ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed iteratively, which will produce document-ordered nodes. Document modification invalidates the iteration. | |
| ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed as a snapshot list of nodes that will be in original document order. Document modification does not invalidate the snapshot but may mean that reevaluation would not yield the same snapshot and nodes in the snapshot may have been altered, moved, or removed from the document. | |
| STRING_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short STRING_TYPE The result is a string as defined by . Document modification does not invalidate the string, but may mean that the string no longer corresponds to the current document. | |
| UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short UNORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed
iteratively, which may not produce nodes in a particular order.
Document modification invalidates the iteration.
| |
| UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public static final short UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE The result is a node set as defined by that will be accessed as a snapshot list of nodes that may not be in a particular order. Document modification does not invalidate the snapshot but may mean that reevaluation would not yield the same snapshot and nodes in the snapshot may have been altered, moved, or removed from the document. | |
| getBooleanValue | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public boolean getBooleanValue() throws XPathException The value of this boolean result.
| |
| getInvalidIteratorState | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public boolean getInvalidIteratorState() Signifies that the iterator has become invalid. True if
| |
| getNumberValue | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public double getNumberValue() throws XPathException The value of this number result. If the native double type of the DOM binding does not directly support the exact IEEE 754 result of the XPath expression, then it is up to the definition of the binding binding to specify how the XPath number is converted to the native binding number.

snapshotItem indices are
