Description
Repeatedly execute a block of statements until
the specified condition evaluates to false. The condition is an XPath expression that is converted to a boolean
type. If the expression evaluates to true, the contents of the while loop are executed. The loop continues
to execute until the expression evaluates to false. During execution, the context is not changed. In the expression,
you should use a mutable variable, which is declared using the mvar statement, to avoid creating an infinite loop.
Attributes
expression | XPath expression, which is cast to boolean
type and used as the condition for the while loop. The code block
contents are executed as long as the condition evaluates to |
SLAX Example
In the example, the while loop parses through the item
list until the desired value is found. When that value is detected, $seen is set to true, and the while loop exits.

mvar $seen = false();
mvar $count = 1;
while (not($seen)) {
if (item[$count]/value) {
set $seen = true();
}
set $count = $count + 1;
