Xpather

Xpather is a simple DSL for generating xpath expressions, including specific support for creating xpath expression for xHtml

Cookbook

• Selecting the root node i.e. /Library
• Select a node from the current node the document not matter where they are, i.e. /Library//Book
• Select all the elements with a given value, i.e., //book[price='35.00']
• Select a node with attribute, i.e. //Book/@language
• Select a node with attribute with value, i.e. //Book[@language='english']
• Select xHtml element with id, i.e. //div[@id='myId']
• Select xHtml element with style class, i.e. //div[@class='myClass']
• Select an xHtml element with an attribute that contains a value, i.e. //div[contains(@class, 'myClass')]
• Select a repeating element at index, i.e. //div/ul/li[2]

Selecting the root node i.e. /Library

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
element("Library").toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

/Library

Select a node from the current node the document no matter where they are, i.e. /Library//Book

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
element("Library").with(any(element("Book"))).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

/Library//Book

Select all the elements with a given value, i.e., //book[price='35.00']

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(element("book")).with(element("price").equalTo("35.00")).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

/Library//Book

Select a node with attribute, i.e. //Book/@language

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(element("Book")).with(attribute("language")).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

//Book/@language

Select a node with attribute with value, i.e. //Book[@language='english']

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(element("Book")).with(attribute("language").containing("english")).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

//Book[@language='english']

Select xHtml element with id, i.e. //div[@id='myId']

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(div().with(id("myId"))).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression //div[@id='myId']

Select xHtml element with style class, i.e. //div[@class='myClass']

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(div().with(css("myClass"))).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

//div[@class='myClass']

Select an xHtml element with an attribute that contains a value, i.e. //div[contains(@class, 'myClass')]

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(div().with(css(containing("myClass")))).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

//div[contains(@class, 'myClass')]

Select a repeating element at index, i.e. //div/ul/li[2]

import static xpather.XpathExpression.*;
...
any(div().with(ul().with(li().atIndex(2)))).toXpath();

Will return the xpath expression

//div/ul/li[2]
