NAME

       XML::XPath::Node - internal representation of a node

API

       The Node API aims to emulate DOM to some extent, however the API isn't quite compatible with DOM. This is
       to ease transition from XML::DOM programming to XML::XPath. Compatibility with DOM may arise once
       XML::DOM gets namespace support.

   new
       Creates a new node. See the sub-classes for parameters to pass to new().

   getNodeType
       Returns one of ELEMENT_NODE, TEXT_NODE, COMMENT_NODE, ATTRIBUTE_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE or
       NAMESPACE_NODE. UNKNOWN_NODE is returned if the sub-class doesn't implement getNodeType - but that means
       something is broken! The constants are exported by default from XML::XPath::Node. The constants have the
       same numeric value as the XML::DOM versions.

   getParentNode
       Returns the parent of this node, or undef if this is the root node. Note that the root node is the root
       node in terms of XPath - not the root element node.

   to_sax ( $handler | %handlers )
       Generates sax calls to the handler or handlers. See the PerlSAX docs for details (not yet implemented
       correctly).
