Class XML::XPathConstruction

A data-flow node that constructs an XPath expression.

Often, it is worthy of an alert if an XPath expression is constructed such that executing it would be a security risk.

If it is important that the XPath expression is indeed executed, then use XPathExecution.

Extend this class to refine existing API models. If you want to model new APIs, extend XPathConstruction::Range instead.
