FAQ
XPath is a query language used to navigate and select elements and attributes in an XML or HTML document.
To select an element using XPath, you need to use the element's name or its attributes. For example, to select all <p>
elements in an HTML document, you can use the XPath expression //p
.
To select elements based on their attributes, you can use the [@attribute='value']
syntax. For example, to select all <a>
elements with a target attribute set to <i>_blank</i>, you can use the XPath expression //a[@target='_blank']
.
To select elements based on their position, you can use the <InlineCode>[position()]</InlineCode> or <InlineCode>[last()]</InlineCode> syntax. For example, to select the first <p>
element in an HTML document, you can use the XPath expression //p[position()=1]
.
