+=head1 NAME
+
+XML::LibXML::XPathExpression - XML::LibXML::XPathExpression - interface to libxml2 pre-compiled XPath expressions
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+
+
+ use XML::LibXML;
+ my $compiled_xpath = new XML::LibXML::XPathExpression('//foo[@bar="baz"][position()<4]');
+
+ # interface from XML::LibXML::Node
+
+ my $result = $node->find($compiled_xpath);
+ my @nodes = $node->findnodes($compiled_xpath);
+ my $value = $node->findvalue($compiled_xpath);
+
+ # interface from XML::LibXML::XPathContext
+
+ my $result = $xpc->find($compiled_xpath,$node);
+ my @nodes = $xpc->findnodes($compiled_xpath,$node);
+ my $value = $xpc->findvalue($compiled_xpath,$node);
+
+ $compiled = XML::LibXML::XPathExpression->new( xpath_string );
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This is a perl interface to libxml2's pre-compiled XPath expressions.
+Pre-compiling an XPath expression can give in some performance benefit if the
+same XPath query is evaluated many times. C<<<<<< XML::LibXML::XPathExpression >>>>>> objects can be passed to all C<<<<<< find... >>>>>> functions C<<<<<< XML::LibXML >>>>>> that expect an XPath expression.

+=item new()
+
+ $compiled = XML::LibXML::XPathExpression->new( xpath_string );
+
+The constructor takes an XPath 1.0 expression as a string and returns an object
+representing the pre-compiled expressions (the actual data structure is
+internal to libxml2).
