14 Best Free Online XPath Tester Websites

Here is a list of the best free online XPath Tester websites. XPath is a query language for XML data. It is used to navigate and select nodes in XML data. With the help of XPath, one can easily address attributes, elements, and other parts of an XML structure. To use XPath, you have to use expressions, i.e., XPath expressions. An XPath expression consists of operators and elements of the XML document.

To perform an XPath test, you need the XML data and the XPath expression. You can add that to an online tool to perform the test. The tool then runs that expression through the XML data. It navigates to the specified node and extracts the matching pieces. Then it shows the matching pieces as the output of the test.

This post covers 14 websites where you can perform the XPath test online. Most of these testing tools extract the matching nodes and show them as they are in the results. Whereas some tools translate that into plain text and show that in the output. Apart from that, you get multiple methods to add data and save the results. You can explore the list and check these tools in detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is XPath checker?

An XPath checker/evaluator is a tool that allows you to validate and extract the matching piece of the XML data against the input expression.

How to check if XPath exists?

To check if an XPath exists in an XML document, you can use an XPath evaluation function or library to evaluate the XPath expression and verify if it returns any nodes or not. If nodes are returned, the XPath exists; otherwise, it does not exist. Alternatively, you can use an online tool to do just that but faster.

Why is XPath used?

XPath is used to navigate and query XML documents, allowing users to locate specific elements or attributes within the document structure. It provides a standardized way to access and extract data from XML, enabling tasks such as data extraction, transformation, and validation in various programming languages and technologies.

What are XPath types?

XPath supports several types of expressions for selecting nodes or values within an XML document. The main XPath types include: 1. Location Paths: Used to navigate the XML document structure and specify the path to the desired nodes. 2. Node Tests: Used to filter nodes based on their node type, name, or other properties, allowing more specific node selection within the document.
