<hr><a name="_details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The evaluation of XPath expressions is provided by <code>DOMXPathEvaluator</code>.
<p>
In a DOM implementation which supports the XPath 3.0 feature, the <code>DOMXPathEvaluator</code> interface will be implemented on the same object which implements the Document interface permitting it to be obtained by casting or by using the DOM Level 3 getInterface method. In this case the implementation obtained from the Document supports the XPath DOM module and is compatible with the XPath 1.0 specification. Evaluation of expressions with specialized extension functions or variables may not work in all implementations and is, therefore, not portable. XPathEvaluator implementations may be available from other sources that could provide specific support for specialized extension functions or variables as would be defined by other specifications. <dl compact><dt><b>Since:</b></dt><dd>DOM Level 3 </dd></dl>

<tr><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"><em>expression</em> </td><td>of type XMLCh The XPath expression string to be parsed and evaluated. </td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"><em>contextNode</em> </td><td>of type <code><a class="el" href="classDOMNode.html">DOMNode</a></code> The context is context node for the evaluation of this XPath expression. If the <code>DOMXPathEvaluator</code> was obtained by casting the <code><a class="el" href="classDOMDocument.html">DOMDocument</a></code> then this must be owned by the same document and must be a <code><a class="el" href="classDOMDocument.html">DOMDocument</a></code>, <code><a class="el" href="classDOMElement.html">DOMElement</a></code>, <code>DOMAttribute</code>, <code><a class="el" href="classDOMText.html">DOMText</a></code>, <code><a class="el" href="classDOMCDATASection.html">DOMCDATASection</a></code>, <code><a class="el" href="classDOMComment.html">DOMComment</a></code>, <code><a class="el" href="classDOMProcessingInstruction.html">DOMProcessingInstruction</a></code>, or <code>XPathNamespace</code> node. If the context node is a <code><a class="el" href="classDOMText.html">DOMText</a></code> or a <code><a class="el" href="classDOMCDATASection.html">DOMCDATASection</a></code>, then the context is interpreted as the whole logical text node as seen by XPath, unless the node is empty in which case it may not serve as the XPath context. </td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"><em>resolver</em> </td><td>of type <code>XPathNSResolver</code> The resolver permits translation of all prefixes, including the xml namespace prefix, within the XPath expression into appropriate namespace URIs. If this is specified as null, any namespace prefix within the expression will result in <code><a class="el" href="classDOMException.html">DOMException</a></code> being thrown with the code NAMESPACE_ERR. </td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"><em>type</em> </td><td>of type unsigned short - If a specific type is specified, then the result will be returned as the corresponding type. For XPath 1.0 results, this must be one of the codes of the <code>XPathResult</code> interface. </td></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"></td><td valign="top"><em>result</em> </td><td>of type void* - The result specifies a specific result object which may be reused and returned by this method. If this is specified as null or the implementation does not reuse the specified result, a new result object will be constructed and returned. For XPath 1.0 results, this object will be of type <code>XPathResult</code>. </td></tr>
