Tree::...e::Root(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Tree::XPathEngine::Root — the "take me home" of XPath expressions, aka going back to the root node inside an XPath expression. 🏠✨

This page lives in the Perl docs under the manual name Tree::...e::Root(3pm) (yes bestie, that's the whole vibe — a lil truncated, still iconic 💅).

🎀 METHODS 🎀

🌸 new

Constructor. That's it, that's the whole entry — the docs just hand you new and let you live your life. No extra lore, no secret options. 🫶

🌸 evaluate ($nodeset)

Bestie, this one returns a nodeset containing the root node of the first element of the nodeset. 📍🦋

So you hand it a nodeset, it peeks at the first element in there, and walks alllll the way back up to the root. Main character energy: no matter how deep the plot goes, we're going back to where it all started. 👑

🌸 as_string

Also here! The docs list it, and that's genuinely all they say about it. 🙈

🌸 as_xml

Dumps the action as XML, specifically as:

<Root/>

Literally just that. Self-closing. Minimalist. Ate. ✨

---

💀 Quick note: new, as_string and as_xml come with no extra description in the original docs, so there's nothing more to spill — no cap, I'm not about to make stuff up.
