What is XPath in Selenium?

Hey Alex,

XPath is a standard language for addressing parts of an XML document or HTML document. In Selenium WebDriver, XPath is used to locate the element based on the name of the element and its location in the HTML DOM structure.

The syntax of XPath is a string that starts with a forward slash (/), followed by a series of one or more selectors. A selector can be an attribute, a tag name, or even an expression. Selectors can also contain predicates to filter elements based on their values or content.

Hope it helps!
