               <p>
                  The class <code>XdmNode</code> represents a Node in the XDM Data Model. A Node
                  is an <code>XdmItem</code>, and is therefore an <code>XdmValue</code> in its own right, and may also participate
                  as one item within a sequence value.
                  
               </p>
               
               <p>An <code>XdmNode</code> is implemented as a wrapper around an object
                  of type <code>net.sf.saxon.NodeInfo</code>. Because this is a key interface
                  within Saxon, it is exposed via this API, even though it is a Java
                  interface that is not part of the API proper.
               </p>
               
               <p>The <code>XdmNode</code> interface exposes basic properties of the node, such
                  as its name, its string value, and its typed value. Navigation to other nodes
                  is supported through a single method, <code>EnumerateAxis</code>, which allows
                  other nodes to be retrieved by following any of the XPath axes.
