除了 JavaBean,JXPath 也可以访问 DOM/JDOM。

DOM/JDOM Document Access
Document document = // get from book.xml ...
JXPathContext context = JXPathContext.newContext(document);
String aBirthday = (String) context.getValue("book/authors/author[firstName='ElElisabeth']/birthday");
String pEmail = (String) context.getValue("book/publisher/contacts/contact[@type='email']");
Getting a Value vs. Selecting a Node
JXPathContext 有两组相似的 API:getValue(xpath)/iterate(xpath) 和 selectSingleNode(xpath)/selectNodes(xpath)。对 JavaBeans 和类似的 Java 对象模型,这两组 API 是等效的。但是,对 DOM/JDOM,这两组 API 则有个不同的地方:selectSingleNode(xpath) 和 selectNodes(xpath) 返回的是 Nodes,而 getValue() 和 iterate(xpath) 返回的则是节点的文本内容。
例如,对于相同的 XPath,getValue("/book/isbn") 会返回字符串 "9787508353937",而 selectSingleNode("/book/isbn") 则返回 Element(<isbn>9787508353937</isbn>)(具体类型取决是 DOM 还是 JDOM)。
