Frequently Asked Questions
What is XPath?
XPath (XML Path Language) is a query language for selecting nodes from an XML document. It uses path expressions to navigate elements and attributes, similar to how file paths work.
What XPath version is supported?
The browser's built-in document.evaluate supports XPath 1.0, which covers the most common use cases including element selection, attribute filtering, and text matching.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All XPath evaluation happens in your browser using the native XPath API. Your data never leaves your machine.
