XPath



XPath (XML Path Language) is a query language used for navigating and selecting nodes from XML documents. It provides a syntax for specifying patterns of elements and attributes within an XML document, allowing users to locate specific data elements or parts of the document tree. XPath expressions consist of a path expression that describes the location of nodes relative to the document root or other context nodes, along with various functions and operators for filtering and refining the selection criteria. XPath is commonly used in conjunction with other XML-based technologies such as XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) and XQuery for transforming and querying XML documents. Its versatility and expressive power make XPath a fundamental tool for processing and manipulating XML data in a wide range of applications, including web scraping, document transformation, and data extraction.
