About the XPath Tester
Test XPath 1.0 expressions against your XML using the browser’s native engine. Node sets, attributes, text nodes, numbers, strings and booleans are all displayed, and default namespaces are handled.
Built for developers
Why developers use it
Private by design
Runs 100% in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded, logged or stored on a server.
Instant results
Output updates as you type, with precise error locations when something is wrong.
Works offline
Once loaded, the tool keeps working without a connection. Install it as an app if you like.
Free, no sign-up
No accounts, no limits, no watermarks.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type, paste or open is sent to a server, logged or stored. The tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
