/** <module> Select nodes in an XML DOM

The library xpath.pl provides predicates to select nodes from an XML DOM
tree as produced by library(sgml) based  on descriptions inspired by the
XPATH language.

The   predicate   xpath/3   selects   a   sub-structure   of   the   DOM
non-deterministically based on an  xpath-like   specification.  Not  all
selectors of XPATH are implemented, but the ability to mix xpath/3 calls
with arbitrary Prolog code  provides  a   powerful  tool  for extracting
information from XML parse-trees.

%%	xpath_chk(+DOM, +Spec, ?Content) is semidet.
%
%	Semi-deterministic version of xpath/3.

xpath_chk(DOM, Spec, Content) :-
	xpath(DOM, Spec, Content), !.

%%	xpath(+DOM, +Spec, ?Content) is nondet.
%
%	Match an element in a DOM structure.   The syntax is inspired by
%	XPath, using () rather than  []   to  select  inside an element.
%	First we can construct paths using / and //:
%
%	    $ =|//|=Term :
%	    Select any node in the DOM matching term.
%	    $ =|/|=Term :
%	    Match the root against Term.
%	    $ Term :
%	    Select the immediate children of the root matching Term.
%
%	The Terms above are of type   _callable_.  The functor specifies
%	the element name. The element name   '*'  refers to any element.
%	The name =self= refers to the   top-element  itself and is often
%	used for processing matches of an  earlier xpath/3 query. A term
%	NS:Term refers to an XML  name   in  the  namespace NS. Optional
%	arguments specify additional  constraints   and  functions.  The
%	arguments are processed from left  to right. Defined conditional
%	argument values are:
%
%	    $ Integer :
%	    The N-th element with the given name
%	    $ =last= :
%	    The last element with the given name.
%	    $ =last= - IntExpr :
%	    The IntExpr-th element counting from the last (0-based)
%
%	Defined function argument values are:
%
%	    $ =self= :
%	    Evaluate to the entire element
%	    $ =content= :
%	    Evaluate to the content of the element (a list)
%	    $ =text= :
%	    Evaluates to all text from the sub-tree as an atom
%	    $ =normalize_space= :
%	    As =text=, but uses normalize_space/2 to normalise
%	    white-space in the output
%	    $ =number= :
%	    Extract an integer or float from the value.  Ignores
%	    leading and trailing white-space
%	    $ =|@|=Attribute :
%	    Evaluates to the value of the given attribute
%
%	In addition, the argument-list can be _conditions_:
%
%	    $ Left = Right :
%	    Succeeds if the left-hand unifies with the right-hand.
%	    If the left-hand side is a function, this is evaluated.
%	    The right-hand side is _never_ evaluated, and thus the
%	    condition `content = content` defines that the content
%	    of the element is the atom `content`.
%	    The functions `lower_case` and `upper_case` can be applied
%	    to Right (see example below).
%	    $ contains(Haystack, Needle) :
%	    Succeeds if Needle is a sub-string of Haystack.
%	    $ XPath :
%	    Succeeds if XPath matches in the currently selected
%	    sub-DOM.  Fot example, the following expression finds
%	    an =h3= element inside a =div= element, where the =div=
%	    element itself contains an =h2= child with a =strong=
%	    child.
%
%	      ==
%	      //div(h2/strong)/h3
%	      ==
%
%	    This is equivalent to the conjunction of Xpath goals below.
%
%	      ==
%	         ...,
%	         xpath(DOM, //div, Div),
%	         xpath(Div, h2/strong, _),
%	         xpath(Div, h3, Result)
%	      ==
%
%	Examples:
%
%	Match each table-row in DOM:
%
%	    ==
%	    xpath(DOM, //tr, TR)
%	    ==
%
%	Match the last cell  of  each   tablerow  in  DOM.  This example
%	illustrates that a result can be the input of subsequent xpath/3
%	queries. Using multiple queries  on   the  intermediate  TR term
%	guarantee that all results come from the same table-row:
%
%	    ==
%	    xpath(DOM, //tr, TR),
%	    xpath(TR,  /td(last), TD)
%	    ==
%
%	Match each =href= attribute in an <a> element
%
%	    ==
%	    xpath(DOM, //a(@href), HREF)
%	    ==
%
%	Suppose we have a table containing  rows where each first column
%	is the name of a product with a   link to details and the second
%	is the price (a number).  The   following  predicate matches the
%	name, URL and price:
%
%	    ==
%	    product(DOM, Name, URL, Price) :-
%		xpath(DOM, //tr, TR),
%		xpath(TR, td(1), C1),
%		xpath(C1, /self(normalize_space), Name),
%		xpath(C1, a(@href), URL),
%		xpath(TR, td(2, number), Price).
%	    ==
%
%	Suppose we want to select  books   with  genre="thriller" from a
%	tree containing elements =|<book genre=...>|=
%
%	    ==
%	    thriller(DOM, Book) :-
%		xpath(DOM, //book(@genre=thiller), Book).
