    - #### HasXPath

          public HasXPath(java.lang.String xPathExpression,
                          Matcher<java.lang.String> valueMatcher)

      Parameters:
        `xPathExpression` - XPath expression.
        `valueMatcher` - Matcher to use at given XPath. May be null to specify that the XPath must exist but the value is irrelevant.

    - #### HasXPath

          public HasXPath(java.lang.String xPathExpression,
                          javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext namespaceContext,
                          Matcher<java.lang.String> valueMatcher)

      Parameters:
        `xPathExpression` - XPath expression.
        `namespaceContext` - Resolves XML namespace prefixes in the XPath expression
        `valueMatcher` - Matcher to use at given XPath. May be null to specify that the XPath must exist but the value is irrelevant.

    - #### matchesSafely

          public boolean matchesSafely(org.w3c.dom.Node item,
                                       Description mismatch)

      Description copied from class: `TypeSafeDiagnosingMatcher`
      Subclasses should implement this. The item will already have been checked for the specific type and will never be null.
      Specified by:
        `matchesSafely` in class `TypeSafeDiagnosingMatcher<org.w3c.dom.Node>`
      Parameters:
        `item` - the item.
        `mismatch` - the mismatch description.
      Returns:
        boolean true/false depending if item matches matcher.

    - #### describeTo

          public void describeTo(Description description)

      Description copied from interface: `SelfDescribing`
      Generates a description of the object. The description may be part of a description of a larger object of which this is just a component, so it should be worded appropriately.
      Parameters:
        `description` - The description to be built or appended to.

    - #### hasXPath

          public static Matcher<org.w3c.dom.Node> hasXPath(java.lang.String xPath,

      Creates a matcher of `Node`s that matches when the examined node has a value at the specified `xPath` that satisfies the specified `valueMatcher`. For example:

          assertThat(xml, hasXPath("/root/something[2]/cheese", equalTo("Cheddar")))

      Parameters:
        `xPath` - the target xpath
        `valueMatcher` - matcher for the value at the specified xpath
      Returns:
        The matcher.

      Creates a matcher of `Node`s that matches when the examined node has a value at the specified `xPath`, within the specified `namespaceContext`, that satisfies the specified `valueMatcher`. For example:

      Parameters:
        `xPath` - the target xpath
        `namespaceContext` - the namespace for matching nodes
        `valueMatcher` - matcher for the value at the specified xpath
      Returns:
        The matcher.
