  +--de.zeigermann.xml.simpleImporter.SimplePath

public class SimplePath

extends Object

Rudimentary representation of a path to an XML element.
Two paths match in two cases:

1. If they are really equal in terms of the equals(java.lang.Object) method.
2. If the path to match to is relative, i.e. it has no leading '/' and it is the suffix of the matching path.

For example
/root/tag matches /root/tag and
/root/tag matches tag.
