What is XPath?
XPath is a way to navigate XML documents. With XPath you can specify which elements and attributes in an XML document you want to retrieve. XPath is often used to retrieve data from XML documents, e.g. in web services. XPath is often compared to XQuery, which is a language for retrieving and manipulating data in XML documents. XQuery is a more complete language than XPath, and can e.g. used to sort and group data.
