Introduction

The starting point of all searches is XPathSelector\Selector class. It allows you to load HTML or XML, so you can process it then. There are several methods to do it:

Next thing you want to do, is to decide whether you're searching for single DOM element or multiple elements. For single search use find($query) method.

And if you need multiple results, use findAll($query) instead. This method returns instance of XPathSelector\NodeListInterface. Check it out in the API.

Do you need to check whether XPath path exists? Use findOneOrNull($query) method. It returns Node object or null, when no results were found. It works just like find($query), except it returns null instead of throwing exception.
