XPath is an expression language designed to support the query or transformation of XML documents. It was defined by the World Wide Web Consortium and can be used to compute values from the content of an XML document.

The XML Path Language (XPath) is used to uniquely identify or address parts of an XML document. An XPath expression can be used to search through an XML document, and extract information from any part of the document, such as an element or attribute (referred to as a node in XML) in it

XPath grew out of efforts to share a common syntax between XSL Transformations (XSLT) and XPointer. It allows for the search and retrieval of information within an XML document structure. XPath is not an XML syntax: rather, it uses a syntax that relates to the logical structure of an XML document.
