Re^2: xmlns and XML::LibXML

I cannot see how to use. XML::LibXML::XPathContext

The man page says:

       registerNs
             $xpc->registerNs($prefix, $namespace_uri)

           Registers namespace $prefix to $namespace_uri.

But I do not know in advance what the prefix will be.

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
     <propfind xmlns="DAV:">
       <propname/>
     </propfind>
[download]

Is valid and

     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
     <D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:">
       <D:prop xmlns:R="http://ns.example.com/boxschema/">
         <R:bigbox/>
         <R:author/>
         <R:DingALing/>
         <R:Random/>
       </D:prop>
     </D:propfind>
[download]

is valid too.

But I do not know in advance what the prefix will be. You don't need to know it, a prefix is for your xpaths, the namespace is important not the prefix, the prefix is just a shortcut for the namespace The person writing xml "registers" a local prefix so they can write their XML with less chars The person writing xpath "registers" a local prefix so they can write their xpath with less chars Neither person has to use the same prefix to refer to the same namespace	[reply]

The prefix used in the XPath doesn't have to match the prefix used in the document. Only the namespaces need to match. Pick a prefix of your liking. See Re^2: xmlns and XML::LibXML.	[reply]
