/**
* The methods in this class are convenience methods into the
* low-level XPath API.
*
* These functions tend to be a little slow, since a number of objects must be
* created for each evaluation. A faster way is to precompile the
* XPaths using the low-level API, and then just use the XPaths
* over and over.
*
* This is an alternative for the old XPathAPI class, which provided
* static methods for the purpose but had the drawback of
* instantiating a new XPathContext (and thus building a new DTMManager,
* and new DTMs) each time it was called. XPathAPIObject instead retains
* its context as long as the object persists, reusing the DTMs. This
* does have a downside: if you've changed your source document, you should
* obtain a new XPathAPIObject to continue searching it, since trying to use
* the old DTMs will probably yield bad results or malfunction outright... and
* the cached DTMs may consume memory until this object and its context are
* returned to the heap. Essentially, it's the caller's responsibility to
* decide when to discard the cache.
