Class XpathReturnType<T>

java.lang.Object

org.xmlmatchers.xpath.XpathReturnType<T>

public abstract class XpathReturnType<T>
extends Object

The type of value returned from an XPath expression. This value can be fed to additional matchers after being extracted from an XML document via an XPath query. For example: assertThat(xml, hasXPath("count(/mountains/mountain)", equalTo("2"))); assertThat(xml,// hasXPath("count(/mountains/mountain)", // returningANumber(), // greaterThanOrEqualTo(2d)));

evaluationMode

protected abstract QName evaluationMode()

returningANumber

public static XpathReturnType<Double> returningANumber()

returningAnXmlNode

public static XpathReturnType<String> returningAnXmlNode()

Warning: The return type passed to subsequent matchers will actually be a Source rather than a Node. Returning a Node is not particularly useful because it is nearly impossible to create any useful matchers for Node. This is a slight inconsistency in naming but makes the result much more usable.

returningAString

public static XpathReturnType<String> returningAString()

returningABoolean

public static XpathReturnType<Boolean> returningABoolean()
