Questions
- How do I use it?
- Put the XPath on the first line, then a line containing only ---, then your XML.
- Which XPath syntax is supported?
- A deliberate subset: /a/b, //b, /a/b[1], /a/@id, //b/text(). Predicates, axes, and functions are refused with a message — rather than silently returning nothing, which is the behaviour that makes these tools untrustworthy.
