elementsWith

Elementswith is a general term used to describe utilities or functions that return all elements from a collection that satisfy a given condition. It is not tied to a single library or language, and it is not a standard API with a universal definition. Instead, it denotes the common pattern of filtering elements by attributes, content, position, or other properties.

In web development, the concept often appears through querying mechanisms rather than a specific function named exactly “elementswith.” Typical equivalents include CSS selectors, XPath queries, or library-specific filters. For example, in JavaScript you can retrieve elements with a specific attribute using document.querySelectorAll('[data-role="button"]'), which returns all elements matching that criterion. In XPath, //*[@data-role='button'] selects nodes with a given attribute. In Python libraries such as BeautifulSoup or lxml, you filter elements by attributes or tags using methods like find_all or appropriate XPath expressions. The underlying idea is the same: produce a subset of elements that meet a defined condition.

Because elementswith is not a universal API name, its exact syntax and availability vary by language, framework, or library. It is typically implemented as a filtering, selecting, or querying operation, and may be named elementsWith, filter, findAll, query, or similar in different contexts. Conceptually, it is closely related to the general operations of filtering data, querying documents, and extracting matching nodes.
