# uri

Returns the URI associated with the receiver.

```
var uri: String? { get set }
```

## Discussion

A node’s URI is derived from its namespace or a document’s URI; for documents, the URI comes either from the parsed XML or is explicitly set. You cannot change the URI for a particular node other for than a namespace or document node.
