XPATH Certification
About XPATH
XPath (XML Path Language) is a query language that is used to select and locate elements in an XML document. It is used to navigate through the elements, attributes, and other components of an XML document. XPath provides a way to identify and locate elements in an XML document based on their structure and content.
XPath uses a path-like syntax to select elements in an XML document. The syntax is similar to the way in which a file system uses paths to navigate through directories and files. XPath expressions can select elements based on their name, attributes, or position in the document.
XPath can also be used to select elements based on their content, by using predicates. A predicate is a Boolean expression that is used to filter the elements that match a particular XPath expression.
XPath is commonly used in conjunction with XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) to transform XML documents into other formats, such as HTML or PDF. It's also used with other XML-based technologies such as XQuery and XPointer.
