Yes. The default namespace of the document element is resolved for unprefixed names when present. Use explicit prefixes that match xmlns declarations in your XML when needed.

No. Parsing and XPath run entirely in your browser.

How to use the XML XPath Tester

Paste a well-formed XML document (or load the bookstore sample).
Enter an XPath expression such as //book[price<10]/title.
Review matched nodes — XML is parsed as application/xml (case-sensitive).
For HTML pages and scraping markup, use the XPath Tester (HTML) instead.
