Class NamespaceUriFunction

Implemented Interfaces:
Function

public class NamespaceUriFunction
extends java.lang.Object
implements Function

4.1 string namespace-uri(node-set?)

The namespace-uri function returns the namespace URI of the expanded-name of the node in the argument node-set that is first in document order. If the argument node-set is empty, the first node has no expanded-name, or the namespace URI of the expanded-name is null, an empty string is returned. If the argument is omitted, it defaults to a node-set with the context node as its only member.

NOTE: The string returned by the namespace-uri function will be empty except for element nodes and attribute nodes.
