How to use the XPath Tester (HTML)

  1. Paste HTML (or load the sample shop page).
  2. Enter an XPath expression such as //li[@class='item']/span[@class='name'].
  3. Review matched nodes, text values, and HTML snippets.
  4. Need real XML (case-sensitive, namespaces)? Use the XML XPath Tester — linked under Related tools.

FAQ

Is this HTML or XML?
This page parses input as text/html (browser HTML rules). For application/xml documents, use the dedicated XML XPath Tester.
Which XPath engine is this?
Your browser’s native document.evaluate (DOM Level 3 XPath) against an HTML document parsed with DOMParser.
Is my HTML uploaded?
No. Evaluation runs entirely in your browser.
