XPath Tester

XPath Tester allows you to query an XML document using an XPath expression and find the elements that match the selected path. You can enter your XML in the XML Input section and then write an XPath expression to search for specific elements or values.

For example, you can use this XML document:

<users>
  <user id="1">
    <name>CodeLiqo</name>
    <role>developer</role>
    <active>true</active>
  </user>
  <user id="2">
    <name>Alice</name>
    <role>designer</role>
    <active>true</active>
  </user>
  <user id="3">
    <name>John</name>
    <role>developer</role>
    <active>false</active>
  </user>
</users>

If you enter the XPath expression: /users/user/name

the tool searches the XML document for every name element inside user. The XPath Results section will then display the elements that match the expression.

In this example, the results would include the names CodeLiqo, Alice, and John. You can also use more specific XPath expressions to query particular elements, attributes, or parts of the XML structure.

XPath Tester is useful when working with XML data, APIs, configuration files, or applications where you need to locate specific information inside a structured XML document. Testing an XPath expression before using it in an application can help verify that it selects the expected elements.

The tool also provides quick example XPath expressions that can help you test common queries. Everything is processed directly in your browser, making it convenient for experimenting with XPath without installing additional software.
