  - XMLDocument
```
public XMLDocument(String text)
```
    Public ctor, from XML as a text.
    The object is created with a default implementation of NamespaceContext, which already defines a number of namespaces, for convenience, including:
    xhtml: http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml xs: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema xsi: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance xsl: http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform svg: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg

    toString in class Object
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object another)

    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:

  - node
```
public Node node()
```
    Description copied from interface: XML
    
    Retrieve DOM node, represented by this wrapper.
    
    Specified by:
    
    node in interface XML
    
    Returns:
    
    DOM node
  - xpath
```
public List<String> xpath(String query)
```
    Description copied from interface: XML
    
    Find and return text elements or attributes matched by XPath address.
    The XPath query should point to text elements or attributes in the XML document. If any nodes of different types (elements, comments, etc.) are found in result node list - a RuntimeException will be thrown.
    Alternatively, the XPath query can be a function or expression that returns a single value instead of pointing to a set of nodes. In this case, the result will be a List containing a single String, the content of which is the result of the evaluation. If the expression result is not a String, it will be converted to a String representation and returned as such. For example, a document containing three <a> elements, the input query "count(//a)", will return a singleton List with a single string value "3".
    This is a convenient method, which is used (according to our experience) in 95% of all cases. Usually you don't need to get anything else but a text value of some node or an attribute. And in most cases you are interested to get just the first value (use xpath(..).get(0)). But when/if you need to get more than just a plain text - use XML.nodes(String).
    The List returned will throw IndexOutOfBoundsException if you try to access a node which wasn't found by this XPath query.
    An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the parameter passed is not a valid XPath expression.
    
    Specified by:
    
    xpath in interface XML
    
    Parameters:
    
    query - The XPath query
    
    Returns:
    
    The list of string values (texts) or single function result
  - registerNs
```
public XML registerNs(String prefix,
                      Object uri)
```
    Description copied from interface: XML
    Register additional namespace prefix for XPath.
    For example:
    String name = new XMLDocument("...") .registerNs("ns1", "http://example.com") .registerNs("foo", "http://example.com/foo") .xpath("/ns1:root/foo:name/text()") .get(0);
    
    A number of standard namespaces are registered by default in instances of XML. Their full list is in XMLDocument(String).
    If a namespace prefix is already registered an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
    Specified by:
    
    registerNs in interface XML
    
    Parameters:
    
    prefix - The XPath prefix to register
    
    uri - Namespace URI
    
    Returns:
    
    A new XML document, with this additional namespace registered
  - nodes
```
public List<XML> nodes(String query)
```
    Description copied from interface: XML
    
    Retrieve DOM nodes from the XML response.
    The List returned will throw IndexOutOfBoundsException if you try to access a node which wasn't found by this XPath query.
    An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if the parameter passed is not a valid XPath expression.
    
    Specified by:
    
    nodes in interface XML
    
    Parameters:
    
    query - The XPath query
    
    Returns:
    
    Collection of DOM nodes
  - merge
```
public XML merge(NamespaceContext ctx)
```
    Description copied from interface: XML
    
    Append this namespace context to the existing one.
    The existing context (inside this object) and the new one provided will be merged together. The existing context will be have higher priority.
    
    Specified by:
    
    merge in interface XML
    
    Parameters:
    
    ctx - The context to append
    
    Returns:
    
    A new XML document, with a merged context on board
