What is the difference between name() and local-name()?
I don't really understand the difference between the XPath functions name
and local-name
.
Could you give an example of a situation where they would differ?
Edit
Given this example:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head></head&g开发者_运维知识库t;
</html>
I get the same result with these two queries: //*[local-name()="head"]
and //*[name()="head"]
. Why is that?
With the XML being
<x:html xmlns:x="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/>
the stylesheet
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<local-name><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/></local-name>
<name><xsl:value-of select="name()"/></name>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
outputs
<local-name>html</local-name>
<name>x:html</name>
So the local-name()
result is without any prefix, the name()
result might include a prefix.
In your sample with a default namespace declaration no prefix is present, therefore name()
and local-name()
give the same result.
