Package javax.xml.xpath

---

Java 5.0

This package defines types for the evaluation of XPath expressions in the context of an XML document. XPath is a language for describing a " path " to a node or set of nodes within an XML document. Details of the XPath grammar are beyond the scope of this reference.

A typical use of this package begins with the XPathFactory , an instance of which is used to create an XPath object. After configuring the XPath object as desired, you can use it to evaluate XPath expressions directly or to compile XPath expressions into XPathExpression objects for later use.
