2. 新建一个类,包括两个主要的成员：Document
class XPathSample
{
XPathDocument Document;
XPathNavigator Navigator;
};
3.使用构造函数进行初始化
public XPathSample()
{
Document = new XPathDocument("books.xml");
Navigator = Document.CreateNavigator();
}
4. 遍历所有的节点，输出xml中所有的数据
void NavigateDocument()
{
Navigator.MoveToRoot();
Navigator.MoveToFirstChild();
if(Navigator.NodeType == XPathNodeType.Element)
{
if(Navigator.HasChildren == true)
{
Navigator.MoveToFirstChild();
do
{
if(Navigator.HasAttributes == true)
{
Console.WriteLine("Book ID: " + Navigator.GetAttribute("id", ""));
}
if(Navigator.HasChildren)
{
Navigator.MoveToFirstChild();
do
{
Console.Write("\t{0}:\t{1}\r\n", Navigator.Name, Navigator.Value);
} while(Navigator.MoveToNext());
Navigator.MoveToParent();
}
} while(Navigator.MoveToNext());
}
}
}
5. 用表达式检索出满足特定条件的节点信息
void XPathExpression1()
{
Console.WriteLine("select out the book with ID bk103:");
var expr = Navigator.Compile("/catalog/book[@id='bk103']");
var iterator = Navigator.Select(expr);
while(iterator.MoveNext())
{
var nav = iterator.Current.Clone();
Console.WriteLine("Book ID: " + nav.GetAttribute("id", ""));
if(nav.HasChildren)
{
nav.MoveToFirstChild();
do
{
Console.Write("\t{0}:\t{1}\r\n", nav.Name, nav.Value);
} while(nav.MoveToNext());
}
}
}
6. 检索价格大于10的所有图书
void XPathExpression2()
{
Console.WriteLine("select out all books whose price are more than 10:");
var expr = Navigator.Compile("/catalog/book[price>10]");
var iterator = Navigator.Select(expr);
while(iterator.MoveNext())
{
var nav = iterator.Current.Clone();
Console.WriteLine("Book ID: " + nav.GetAttribute("id", ""));
if(nav.HasChildren)
{
nav.MoveToFirstChild();
do
{
if(nav.Name == "title")
{
Console.Write("\t{0}:\t{1}\r\n", nav.Name, nav.Value);
}
if(nav.Name == "price")
{
Console.Write("\t{0}:\t{1}\r\n", nav.Name, nav.Value);
}
} while(nav.MoveToNext());
}
}
}
7. 统计图书的平均价格
void XPathExpression3()
{
Console.WriteLine("calculate the average price of all books:");
var expr = Navigator.Compile("sum(/catalog/book/price) div count(/catalog/book/price)");
var averagePrice = Navigator.Evaluate(expr).ToString();
Console.WriteLine("The average price of the books are {0}", averagePrice);
}
这是xpath的基本使用方法，关键是要灵活使用表达式进行查询。
