Michele Vivoda created JXPATH-174: ------------------------------------- Summary: Improve JXPath documentation Key: JXPATH-174 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-174 Project: Commons JXPath Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Michele Vivoda Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.4
I think a cause of issues with JXPath is in that the expected behavior in some cases is not easy to specify if not undefined, this happens because XPath was designed for XML and there is no specification for doing XPath on beans, maps or even collections as JXPath is able to perform. For example what is {{/}} ? what is {{/\*}} ? What is 'document order' ? What is {{text()}} ? Some questions are answered http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-jxpath/users-guide.html#Document_Order but documentation is sparse. I think a table that summarizes what JXPath does at the moment would be handy and a way to improve user experience. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
