| This is a simple C interface for the class XPathEvaluator. It's the user's responsibility to call XalanXPathAPIInitialize() before making any other API calls, and to call XalanXPathAPITerminate() when finished with the API.

## Typedef Documentation

typedef void * XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle

| Handle used to store the address of XalanTransformer instance.

typedef void * XalanXPathHandle

| Handle used to store the address of compiled XPath instance.

## Function Documentation

int XalanCreateXPath ( | XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle theXalanHandle,
| const char * theXPathExpression,
| const char * theXPathExpressionEncoding,
| XalanXPathHandle * theXPathHandle )

Creates a compiled XPath instance.

Parameters:

  theXalanHandle | The handle of XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle instance.
  theXPathExpression | The expression to compile
  theXPathExpressionEncoding | The encoding of the expression. If NULL or an empty string, the local code page is assumed.
  theXPathHandle | A pointer to the handle for the new instance

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanCreateXPathEvaluator ( | XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle * theHandle )

Create a XalanXPathEvaluator instance.

Parameters:

  theXalanHandle | A pointer to the handle for the new instance.

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanDestroyXPath ( | XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle theXalanHandle,
| XalanXPathHandle theXPathHandle )

Destroys a compiled XPath instance.

Parameters:

  theXalanHandle | The handle of XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle instance.
  theXPathHandle | The handle of XPath instance

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanDestroyXPathEvaluator ( | XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle theXalanHandle )

Destroy a XalanXPathEvaluator instance.

Parameters:

  theXalanHandle | The handle of the instance to destroy.

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanEvaluateXPathAsBoolean ( | XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle theXalanHandle,
| XalanXPathHandle theXPathHandle,
| const char * theXML,
| int * theResult )

Evaluates a compiled XPath instance.

Parameters:

  theXalanHandle | The handle of XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle instance.
  theXPathHandle | The pointer to handle for instance
  theXML | The XML document to use for evaluating the XPath expression
  theResult | A pointer to an int to receive the result.

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanEvaluateXPathExpressionAsBoolean ( | XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle theXalanHandle,
| const char * theXPathExpression,
| const char * theXPathExpressionEncoding,
| const char * theXML,
| int * theResult )

Evaluates an XPath expression.

Parameters:

  theXalanHandle | The handle of XalanXPathEvaluatorHandle instance.
  theXPathExpression | The expression to evaluate
  theXPathExpressionEncoding | The encoding of the expression. If NULL or an empty string, the local code page is assumed.
  theXML | The XML document to use for evaluating the XPath expression
  theResult | A pointer to an int to receive the result.

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanXPathAPIInitialize ( | )

Initialize Xerces and the XPath API.

Should be called only once per process before making any other API calls.

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure

int XalanXPathAPITerminate ( | )

Terminate Xerces and the XPath API.

Should be called only once per process after deleting all instances of XalanXPathEvaluator. Once a process has called this function, it cannot use the API for the remaining lifetime of the process.

Returns:
  0 for success, or a non-zero error code upon failure
