XPath Selector

About

Seeking an easy-to-use yet effective and fast tool to work with XPath expressions right in your browser? In this case, our project may perfectly cope with this task. It is designed specifically for developers, quality control specialists, web testers, data analysts and anyone who often interacts with DOM elements in HTML documents.

What is XPath Selector?

Our online helper tool is a Chrome extension specifically designed to simplify and speed up the process of finding, evaluating, testing, and debugging queries directly in your browser.

Why choose our extension?

Finding the suitable tool for your task can be challenging these days. Maybe you need something simple, but are limited to yet another generic tool overloaded with features. We decided to take a completely different approach — to create a simple, low-learning online module focused on working with XPath for texts. Based on these design principles, we equipped Xpather with the following key features:

* Real-time XPath Checker: Evaluate XPath expressions instantly as you type. Receive clear, informative error messages if the XPath is invalid or a straightforward notification if no matches are found.
* XPath Query Editor: Refine your selectors inside the plug-in. Update expressions on the fly and get instant feedback
* Interactive Node Highlighting: Matched nodes are visually highlighted on your webpage, clearly indicating selected elements. Precisely confirm which elements your search pattern matches.
* Detailed Node Information: Displays the number of matched nodes and their corresponding texts. Copy filter queries and matched node texts easily with one click.
* Point-and-Click XPath Generation: Hold the "Shift" key and hover over any element to retrieve its DOM path. Automatically fills the result into the input field, simplifying selection without manual typing.
* Convenient Side Panel Interface: Access the helper through the side panel by clicking the extension icon or using keyboard shortcuts.

How to install this module?

Here are a few simple steps you'll need to take:

1. Install the module: add XPath Selector to your browser directly from the Chrome Web Store using the button in the top right corner of the page
2. Open the Tool: click the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar or use the keyboard shortcut ("Ctrl + Shift + X" for Windows/Linux or "Cmd + Shift + X" for Mac).
3. Start Testing: enter your XPath text into the input field to see actual validation results, matched nodes, or clear error messages.
4. Find matching nodes with mouse: hold "Shift" and hover over an element on the webpage; HTML XPath Evaluator automatically detects the node path and clearly highlights the element.

What tasks can our software help you with?

Our in-browser solution is not a multifunctional tool. On the other hand, it was initially developed with a focus on the most necessary duties when working with HTML documents. Thus the add-on can be viewed as:

* XPath validator: instantly checks the syntax and correctness of the provided lookup string.
* XPath finder: quickly finds a unique path to any element in your documents.
* XPath generator: populates the search pattern based on the existing web page content.
* XPath highlighter: highlights relevant nodes to make them easier to identify on a website.
* XPath tester: modify and try various queries to find those which match your requirements. Ensure your Selenium tests are running correctly by validating your path.

Respect for your privacy and security

We understand the importance of privacy in today's digital landscape. To meet high standards XPath test extension:

* Operates fully within your browser. Your data and queries remain private; no external storage or transmission occurs.
* Requests only essential browser permissions, ensuring your privacy while maintaining full functionality.
* Built on Manifest V3, the latest version of the Chrome extension platform.
