XPath/XQuery namespace-uri function

Summary

Returns the namespace URI part of the name of $arg, as an xs:anyURI value.

Signatures

fn:namespace-uri(
) as xs:anyURI
fn:namespace-uri(
$arg as node()?
) as xs:anyURI

Properties

The zero-argument form of this function is deterministic, context-dependent, and focus-dependent.
The one-argument form of this function is deterministic, context-independent, and focus-independent.

Rules

If the argument is omitted, it defaults to the context node (.). The behavior of the function if the argument is omitted is exactly the same as if the context item had been passed as the argument.

If the node identified by $arg is neither an element nor an attribute node, or if it is an element or attribute node whose expanded-QName (as determined by the dm:node-name accessor in the ) is in no namespace, then the function returns the zero-length xs:anyURI value.

Otherwise, the result will be the namespace URI part of the expanded-QName of the node identified by $arg, as determined by the dm:node-name accessor defined in ), returned as an xs:anyURI value.

Error Conditions

The following errors may be raised when $arg is omitted:

If the context item is absent, dynamic error

If the context item is not a node, type error .
