Constructor and Description
`XPathContext()` Starts with an empty context.
`XPathContext(Map<String,String> prefix2uri)` Starts with an empty context and a given namespace mapping.
`XPathContext(Map<String,String> prefix2uri, Node root)` Starts with the context of an optional root node and an optional namespace mapping.
`XPathContext(Node root)` Starts with the context of a root node.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`addAttribute(QName attribute)` Adds knowledge about a single attribute of the current node.
`void`	`addAttributes(Iterable<? extends QName> attributes)` Adds knowledge about the current node's attributes.
`void`	`appendChildren(Iterable<? extends XPathContext.NodeInfo> children)` Adds knowledge about the current node's children appending to the knowledge already present.
`XPathContext`	`clone()` Creates a deep copy of this XPathContext.
`String`	`getParentXPath()` Stringifies the XPath of the current node's parent.
`String`	`getXPath()` Stringifies the XPath of the current node.
`void`	`navigateToAttribute(QName attribute)` Moves from the current node to the given attribute.
`void`	`navigateToChild(int index)` Moves from the current node to the given child node.
`void`	`navigateToParent()` Moves back to the parent.
`void`	`setChildren(Iterable<? extends XPathContext.NodeInfo> children)` Adds knowledge about the current node's children replacing existing knowledge.
