What else can I do with XPATH TESTER ?

  • The XPath tester fully supports XML namespaces, but the declarations MUST be explicit and MUST be on the root XML element. See the XPath Examples section for details.
  • Allows you to test your XPath expressions/queries against an XML file. This tool runs better than other existing XPath online tools as it supports most of the XPath functions (string(), number(), name(), string-length() etc.) and does not limit you to working against nodes.
  • You can choose to also include the XML item type (Attribute, Element, Text, etc.) as part of the output. This allows you to better understand which parts were matched.
