    Reference

    What is XPath?

    XPath is a query language for selecting nodes from XML and HTML documents. This tool uses your browser's native document.evaluate() implementation, which supports XPath 1.0. Common operators: / (root or step), // (descendant), . (current), .. (parent), @ (attribute), [predicate] (filter), | (union).

    Common patterns

    • //div[@class="hero"] — every div with class "hero".
    • //a[@href] — every link with an href.
    • //ul/li[1] — first list item under each ul.
    • //*[contains(text(), "hello")] — any element whose text contains "hello".
    • //table//tr[position() > 1] — all rows except the header.

    Common uses

    • Web scraping — write XPath selectors for tools like Scrapy, Puppeteer, Playwright.
    • XML processing — query config files and SOAP responses.
    • Test automation — find elements in Selenium/WebDriver tests.
