-------------------------------------

             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.
