.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Namespace nodes are returned by both \f(CW$element\fR\->findnodes('namespace::foo') or
by \f(CW$node\fR\->\fBgetNamespaces()\fR.
.PP
The namespace node \s-1API\s0 is not part of any current \s-1DOM API,\s0 and so it is quite
minimal. It should be noted that namespace nodes are \fInot\fR a sub class of XML::LibXML::Node, however Namespace nodes act a lot like attribute nodes, and similarly named
methods will return what you would expect if you treated the namespace node as
an attribute. Note that in order to fix several inconsistencies between the \s-1API\s0
and the documentation, the behavior of some functions have been changed in
1.64.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.IP "new" 4
.IX Item "new"
.Vb 1
\&  my $ns = XML::LibXML::Namespace\->new($nsURI);
.Ve
.Sp
Creates a new Namespace node. Note that this is not a 'node' as an attribute or
an element node. Therefore you can't do call all XML::LibXML::Node Functions. All functions available for this node are listed below.
.Sp
Optionally you can pass the prefix to the namespace constructor. If this second
parameter is omitted you will create a so called default namespace. Note, the
newly created namespace is not bound to any document or node, therefore you
should not expect it to be available in an existing document.
.IP "declaredURI" 4
.IX Item "declaredURI"
Returns the \s-1URI\s0 for this namespace.
.IP "declaredPrefix" 4
.IX Item "declaredPrefix"
Returns the prefix for this namespace.
.IP "nodeName" 4
.IX Item "nodeName"
.Vb 1
\&  print $ns\->nodeName();
.Ve
.Sp
Returns \*(L"xmlns:prefix\*(R", where prefix is the prefix for this namespace.
.IP "name" 4
.IX Item "name"
.Vb 1
\&  print $ns\->name();
.Ve
.Sp
Alias for \fBnodeName()\fR
.IP "getLocalName" 4
.IX Item "getLocalName"
.Vb 1
\&  $localname = $ns\->getLocalName();
.Ve
.Sp
Returns the local name of this node as if it were an attribute, that is, the
prefix associated with the namespace.
.IP "getData" 4
.IX Item "getData"
.Vb 1
\&  print $ns\->getData();
.Ve
.Sp
Returns the \s-1URI\s0 of the namespace, i.e. the value of this node as if it were an
attribute.
.IP "getValue" 4
.IX Item "getValue"
.Vb 1
\&  print $ns\->getValue();
.Ve
.Sp
Alias for \fBgetData()\fR
.IP "value" 4
.IX Item "value"
.Vb 1
\&  print $ns\->value();
.Ve
.Sp
Alias for \fBgetData()\fR
.IP "getNamespaceURI" 4
.IX Item "getNamespaceURI"
.Vb 1
\&  $known_uri = $ns\->getNamespaceURI();
.Ve
.Sp
Returns the string \*(L"http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/\*(R"
.IP "getPrefix" 4
.IX Item "getPrefix"
.Vb 1
\&  $known_prefix = $ns\->getPrefix();
.Ve
.Sp
Returns the string \*(L"xmlns\*(R"
.IP "unique_key" 4
.IX Item "unique_key"
.Vb 1
\&  $key = $ns\->unique_key();
.Ve
.Sp
This method returns a key guaranteed to be unique for this namespace, and to
always be the same value for this namespace. Two namespace objects return the
same key if and only if they have the same prefix and the same \s-1URI.\s0 The
returned key value is useful as a key in hashes.
