XPath Tester

XPath (XML Path Language)is a query language for selecting nodes from an XML document. This tool uses the browser's built-in document.evaluate()to evaluate XPath 1.0 expressions natively — no server required.

Common XPath Syntax

• //element — Select all elements at any depth
• /root/child — Select direct child from root
• element[@attr='value'] — Filter by attribute value
• element[position()] — Select by position (e.g. [1])
• element/text() — Select text content of element
• count(//element) — Count matching elements
• element[child > value] — Filter by child element value

Result node types

• element — An XML element node (shown with outer XML)
• attribute — An attribute node (shown as name="value")
• text — A text node (shown as plain text)
• value — A scalar result from functions like count()
