What this tool helps you do
Test a query against XML data rather than a browser-repaired HTML fragment. Enter an XPath expression and, when needed, map prefixes to namespace URIs in a JSON object. The result identifies selected nodes or a scalar string, number or boolean. A prefix in the query must be explicitly mapped even when the source uses a default namespace.
Format rules and limitations
The evaluator supports XPath 1.0 and does not add XSLT functions, JavaScript or network access. DTDs and entity declarations are rejected. XML must be well formed, with bounded node count and depth; result node lists are limited to one thousand entries. Namespace-aware XML queries differ from the existing HTML XPath tester, which parses HTML. Inspect serialized node results as data rather than inserting untrusted markup into a live page.
Example input
<catalog><book id="a"><title>First</title></book><book id="b"><title>Second</title></book></catalog>

Is input uploaded?
This tool sends input to this site’s conversion API after you select Convert on server. Files use bounded workers and, when needed, private temporary folders deleted after processing or cancellation. No conversion history is saved. The converter does not upload files to a third-party conversion service.
