What is XML XPath Query Tool?
Need to query your XML documents using XPath expressions? This tool allows you to search and extract specific elements from XML documents using XPath queries. According to MDN Web Docs, XPath is a powerful language for navigating XML documents and selecting nodes.
As the XPath 3.1 specification defines, you can use paths, predicates, and functions to query complex XML structures. Everything happens in your browser following W3C XML standards – your data stays private. Query, extract, and use your XML data right away.
Common Questions
What is XPath?
XPath is a query language for selecting nodes from XML documents. It uses path expressions to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document, similar to how you navigate file systems with paths.
Is my XML data stored?
No. All XPath queries happen in your browser using JavaScript XPath evaluation. Your XML data never leaves your computer – completely private.
What XPath syntax is supported?
We support standard XPath 1.0 syntax including path expressions (//, /, @), predicates ([condition]), and common functions. Complex XPath 2.0+ features may have limited support.
Can I save my queries?
Currently, queries aren't saved. Copy your XPath expressions to a text file or documentation for reuse. Each session starts fresh for privacy.
Does it work with large XML files?
Yes, within browser limits. Small to medium XML files query instantly. Very large files (10MB+) may take longer depending on query complexity and your device's performance.
Where can I learn more about XPath?
Check out MDN's XPath guide for comprehensive documentation, or W3Schools XPath Tutorial for beginner-friendly examples.
