Related Knowledge
XPath is a query language for selecting nodes and values from XML documents. It is widely used in automation, XML processing and scraping workflows.
What can XPath return?
Depending on the expression, XPath can return node sets, attributes, text values, booleans, numbers or strings. This is useful for both querying and validation.
Why test XPath interactively?
Interactive testing helps confirm whether the query points to the expected nodes before you embed it in ETL jobs, test suites or browser automation.
