XPath (XML Path Language)

XPath (XML Path Language) is a language used to navigate and locate specific parts of an XML document. Think of it like a set of directions or a map that guides you to find elements, attributes, or values within a structured data file. By specifying paths—such as parent, child, or specific attribute names—it allows users to efficiently access or manipulate precise sections of complex XML data. XPath is essential in programming, data processing, and web development for extracting or working with targeted information within XML documents.
