Name of current element from XmlPath

[Robin Green]

XPath has the name() function to get the name of the current node. How
do I get the name of the focused element from an XmlPath? (I just want
to put in a require to sanity-check I've got the right element.)

Hi Robin,

You can use Elements.Functions.qname(currentFocus) to get the name()
equivalent.

For use in require I'd check against the namespace as well (prefixes
can lie :<). Elements.Functions.qualifiedName or
elem(focus).name.qualifiedName will return the following syntax in
XPath function terms:

{namespace-uri()}local-name()

If you want to test on prefix as well then pqName will also add
prefix: to the front of the above string.

All of these functions are also available within the internal XPath
syntax e.g. root.\*(qualifiedName(_) == "{ns}local")

HTH,
Chris
