XPath Tester: Validate Queries Against XML
XPath is a powerful language for selecting nodes in XML documents. This XPath Tester lets you paste XML, enter an XPath expression, and instantly inspect matching elements, attributes, or text nodes.
How it helps developers and analysts
XPath is commonly used in XML APIs, data pipelines, automation scripts, and test suites. With this tool, you can quickly verify query accuracy before using expressions in production code, reducing debugging time.
Built for quick iteration
Results update as you edit either the XML input or the XPath query. If the XML is invalid or the expression fails, the tool shows an error so you can fix problems immediately and continue testing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What XPath version does this support?
It uses the browser XPath engine, which typically supports XPath 1.0 expressions.
Can I test attributes and text nodes?
Yes. Queries that return attributes or text values are displayed in the results output, not just full XML elements.
Is my XML data sent anywhere?
No. Parsing and XPath evaluation happen in your browser for a fast and private testing workflow.
