NAME

       XML::LibXML::Namespace - XML::LibXML Namespace Implementation

SYNOPSIS

         use XML::LibXML;
         # Only methods specific to Namespace nodes are listed here,
         # see the XML::LibXML::Node manpage for other methods

         my $ns = XML::LibXML::Namespace->new($nsURI);
         print $ns->nodeName();
         print $ns->name();
         $localname = $ns->getLocalName();
         print $ns->getData();
         print $ns->getValue();
         print $ns->value();
         $known_uri = $ns->getNamespaceURI();
         $known_prefix = $ns->getPrefix();
         $key = $ns->unique_key();

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. Note that in order to fix several inconsistencies between the API and the
       documentation, the behavior of some functions have been changed in 1.64.

METHODS

       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
           document or node, therefore you should not expect it to be available in an existing document.

       declaredURI
           Returns the URI for this namespace.

       declaredPrefix
           Returns the prefix for this namespace.

       nodeName
             print $ns->nodeName();

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

       name
             print $ns->name();

           Alias for nodeName()

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

           Returns the local name of this node as if it were an attribute, that is, the prefix associated with
           the namespace.

       getData
             print $ns->getData();

           Returns the URI of the namespace, i.e. the value of this node as if it were an attribute.

       getValue
             print $ns->getValue();

           Alias for getData()

       value
             print $ns->value();

           Alias for getData()

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

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

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

           Returns the string "xmlns"

       unique_key
             $key = $ns->unique_key();

           This method returns a key guaranteed to be unique for this namespace, and to always be the same value
           for this namespace. Two namespace objects return the same key if and only if they have the same
           prefix and the same URI. The returned key value is useful as a key in hashes.
