    XPath is a syntax for defining parts of an XML document using path expressions. It allows navigation through elements and attributes in an XML document. There are 7 types of nodes in XML including elements, attributes, text, and comments. XPath uses operators like /, //, and predicates to select nodes based on their relationships and attributes. It is a major component of XSLT, XQuery, and XPointer standards.

    Intro

    XPath is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. XPath is a major element in W3C's XSLT standard - and XQuery and XPointer are both built on XPath expressions.

    Intro
    XPath

    is a syntax for defining parts of an XML document XPath uses path expressions to navigate in XML documents XPath contains a library of standard functions XPath is a major element in XSLT XPath is a W3C recommendation

    XPath Terminology
    Seven

    kinds of nodes:

    element attribute

    text Namespace processing-instruction Comment document nodes

    Relationship of Nodes
    Parent Children Siblings

    Ancestors
    Descendants

    Selecting Nodes
    Expression nodename / Description Selects all child nodes of the named node Selects from the root node

    //
    . .. @

    Selects nodes in the document from the current node that match the selection no matter where they are
    Selects the current node Selects the parent of the current node Selects attributes

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

    <bookstore> <book> <title lang="eng">Harry Potter</title> <price>29.99</price> </book> <book> <title lang="eng">Learning XML</title> <price>39.95</price> </book> </bookstore>

    Path Expression bookstore /bookstore

    Result Selects all the child nodes of the bookstore element Selects the root element bookstore Note: If the path starts with a slash ( / ) it always represents an absolute path to an element! Selects all book elements that are children of bookstore Selects all book elements no matter where they are in the document Selects all book elements that are descendant of the bookstore element, no matter where they are under the bookstore element Selects all attributes that are named lang

    bookstore/book //book bookstore//book

    //@lang

    Predicates
    Path Expression /bookstore/book[1] /bookstore/book[last()] /bookstore/book[last()-1] /bookstore/book[position()<3] Result Selects the first book element that is the child of the bookstore element. Selects the last book element that is the child of the bookstore element Selects the last but one book element that is the child of the bookstore element Selects the first two book elements that are children of the bookstore element

    //title[@lang]
    //title[@lang='eng'] /bookstore/book[price>35.00]

    Selects all the title elements that have an attribute named lang
    Selects all the title elements that have an attribute named lang with a value of 'eng' Selects all the book elements of the bookstore element that have a price element with a value greater than 35.00

    /bookstore/book[price>35.00]/title

    Selects all the title elements of the book elements of the bookstore element that have a price element with a value greater than 35.00

    Selecting Unknown Nodes


    Wildcard * @* node() Description Matches any element node Matches any attribute node Matches any node of any kind Result Selects all the child nodes of the bookstore element Selects all elements in the document Selects all title elements which have any attribute

    Path Expression /bookstore/* //* //title[@*]

    Selecting Several Paths


    Path Expression //book/title | //book/price //title | //price /bookstore/book/title | //price Result Selects all the title AND price elements of all book elements Selects all the title AND price elements in the document Selects all the title elements of the book element of the bookstore element AND all the price elements in the document

    XPath Operators
    Operator | Description Computes two node-sets Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Equal Example //book | //cd Return value Returns a nodeset with all book and cd elements 10 2 24 2 true if price is 9.80 false if price is 9.90

    + * div =

    6+4 6-4 6*4 8 div 4 price=9.80

    != < <= > >= or and mod

    Not equal Less than Less than or equal to Greater than Greater than or equal to or and Modulus (division remainder)

    price!=9.80 price<9.80 price<=9.80 price>9.80 price>=9.80 price=9.80 or price=9.70 price>9.00 and price<9.90 5 mod 2

    true if price is 9.90 false if price is 9.80 true if price is 9.00 false if price is 9.80 true if price is 9.00 false if price is 9.90 true if price is 9.90 false if price is 9.80 true if price is 9.90 false if price is 9.70 true if price is 9.80 false if price is 9.50 true if price is 9.80 false if price is 8.50 1

    Loading
    var

    the XML Document

    xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest() var xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")


    Selecting

    Nodes

    xmlDoc.evaluate(xpath,

    xmlDoc, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE,null); xmlDoc.selectNodes(xpath);
