Description Alexey Proskuryakov 2007-01-31 02:19:34 PST 
XPathEvaluator.evaluate() has a parameter saying what kind of result to return, some being faster to compute than others. However, our implementation always computes a full snapshot (the slowest) for node-sets, and then converts it to the requested type.

Comment 2 Alexey Proskuryakov 2023-04-25 08:30:03 PDT
