- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SaxonXPath

          public SaxonXPath(String path,
                            String contextVar,
                            Map<String,String> namespaceMap)

      Construct given an XPath expression string.
      Parameters:
        `path` - The XPath expression
        `contextVar` - The name of the context variable
        `namespaceMap` - a map of prefix/uri bindings for NS support

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### execute

          public XPathEngine execute(Cur c,
                                     XmlOptions options)

      Specified by:
        `execute` in interface `Path`

    - #### selectNodes

          public List selectNodes(Object node)

      Select all nodes that are selectable by this XPath expression. If multiple nodes match, multiple nodes will be returned.

      NOTE: In most cases, nodes will be returned in document-order, as defined by the XML Canonicalization specification. The exception occurs when using XPath expressions involving the `union` operator (denoted with the pipe '|' character).

      NOTE: Param node must be a DOM node which will be used during the xpath execution and iteration through the results. A call of node.dispose() must be done after reading all results.
      Parameters:
        `node` - The node, nodeset or Context object for evaluation. This value can be null.
      Returns:
        The `List` of all items selected by this XPath expression.

    - #### selectPath

          public List selectPath(Object node)
