  - createExpression
```
public XPathExpression createExpression(java.lang.String xpath)
                                 throws XPathException
```
    Creates an XPath expression from the given String
    
    Parameters:
    
    xpath - the String to create the expression from
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException
  - createSelectExpression
```
public XPathExpression createSelectExpression(java.lang.String xpath)
                                       throws XPathException
```
    Creates an XPath expression that will evaluate to a NodeSet.
    
    Parameters:
    
    xpath - the String to create the select expression from.
    
    Returns:
    
    the new expression
    
    Throws:
    
    XPathException
  - newInstance
```
public static XPathParser newInstance()
```
  - setUseErrorExpr
```
public void setUseErrorExpr(boolean useErrorExpr)
```
    Enables the use of an error expression. This allows suppressing syntax errors until the expression is actually evaluated. By default, an XPathException will be thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    useErrorExpr - a boolean that when true will return an ErrorExpr instead of throwing an XPathException
