XML::DOM::NodeList(3) User Contributed Perl DocumentationXML::DOM::NodeList(3)NAMEXML::DOM::NodeList - A node list as used by XML::DOM
DESCRIPTION
The NodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered
collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this
collection is implemented.
The items in the NodeList are accessible via an integral index,
starting from 0.
Although the DOM spec states that all NodeLists are "live" in that they
allways reflect changes to the DOM tree, the NodeList returned by
getElementsByTagName is not live in this implementation. See CAVEATS
for details.
METHODS
item (index)
Returns the indexth item in the collection. If index is greater
than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns
undef.
getLength
The number of nodes in the list. The range of valid child node
indices is 0 to length-1 inclusive.
Additional methods not in the DOM Spec
dispose
Removes all circular references in this NodeList and its
descendants so the objects can be claimed for garbage collection.
The objects should not be used afterwards.
