AI-generated Key Takeaways

XPathConstants provides constants for XPath data types (boolean, node, nodeset, number, and string) that map to corresponding Java types.
These constants are used to specify the expected result type when evaluating XPath expressions.
The DOM_OBJECT_MODEL constant defines the URI for the DOM object model used in the context of XPath.
XPathConstants is part of the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) and enables interaction with XML documents using XPath.

public class XPathConstants extends Object

final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the unique instance of `Class` that represents this object's class.
int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.
