This code snippet, likely written in JavaScript, declares a variable named STATEMENTS and selects elements in an XML or HTML document using XPath expressions that target elements with specific attribute values. The XPath expressions are combined using a logical OR operator to select elements with either "Declaration" or "Statement" in their type attribute.

Run example

npm run import -- "Generate unit test from logic branching"

Generate unit test from logic branching

var STATEMENTS = `//*[contains(@type, "Declaration")]
|//*[contains(@type, "Statement")]`

// Define a constant for XML XPath statements
const xmlStatements = `
  //*[contains(@type, "Declaration")]
  |//*[contains(@type, "Statement")]
`;

// Define a function to parse and validate the XML statements
function parseXmlStatements(xmlStatements) {
  try {
    // Use a library like xpath or xml2js to parse the XML
    const xpath = require('xpath');
    const { DOMParser } = require('xmldom');
    const dom = new DOMParser().parseFromString(xmlStatements, 'application/xml');
    const statements = xpath.select(xmlStatements, dom);
    return statements;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error parsing or validating XML statements:', error);
    return null;
  }
}

// Call the function to get the parsed statements
const parsedStatements = parseXmlStatements(xmlStatements);

// Example usage:
console.log(parsedStatements);

Code Breakdown

Variable Declaration

• var STATEMENTS: A variable named STATEMENTS is declared.

XPath Expression

• //*[contains(@type, "Declaration")]: An XPath expression that selects all elements with an attribute named type that contains the substring "Declaration".
• |: A logical OR operator used to combine multiple XPath expressions.
• //*[contains(@type, "Statement")]: An XPath expression that selects all elements with an attribute named type that contains the substring "Statement".

Context

• This code snippet appears to be written in JavaScript, possibly for use in a web scraping or automation task.
• The XPath expressions suggest that this code is targeting elements in an XML or HTML document.
