A powerful development utility to test XPath expressions against XML or HTML data. XPath (XML Path Language) is essential for web scraping (Selenium, Scrapy), XML parsing, and navigating DOM trees. This tool allows you to paste your source code and enter a query to instantly see the matched nodes, attributes, or text content. Use it to debug complex selectors, verify scraping logic before running scripts, or learn XPath syntax. Supports standard XPath 1.0 functions and axes.
