Study Notes

XPath in Selenium WebDriver

XPath that starts from the middle of the HTML DOM structure is called Relative XPath.
XPath axes are used to navigate through elements and attributes in Selenium WebDriver.
XPath expression //@* is used to select nodes based on attributes like ID, Name, and Classname.
The disadvantage of using Absolute XPath is that it is brittle and prone to breakage if the HTML structure changes.
XPath expression//*[contains(@attribute, 'partial text')] is used to find elements with partial text in their attributes.
Relative XPath expression is always preferred in Selenium WebDriver.
XPath expression//*[@attribute='value'] is used to select elements with a specific attribute value.
XPath in Selenium is a language used to locate elements in a web page.
XPath can be used for HTML, XML, and XHTML documents in Selenium.
XPath is used in Selenium automation when the elements do not have a unique identifier or when the structure of the web page changes dynamically.
The basic format of XPath in Selenium is //tagname[@attribute='value'].
The // symbol in XPath represents the descendant axis, which selects nodes that are descendants of the current node.
The @ symbol in XPath represents the attribute axis, which selects the attribute of the current node.
Tagname in XPath represents the name of the HTML tag.
The child axis in XPath selects all children elements of the current node.
The preceding axis in XPath selects all nodes that come before the current node.
The following-sibling axis in XPath selects the following siblings of the context node.
The parent axis in XPath selects the parent of the current node.
The self axis in XPath selects the current node itself.
The descendant axis in XPath selects the descendants of the current node.
Relative XPath is required to find an element on the web page.
XPath Axes are used to navigate through elements and attributes.
XPath expression selects nodes based on attributes, elements, and text.
The purpose of the 'contains' function in XPath is to select nodes that contain a specified text.
The OR logical operator is used to combine two conditions in an XPath expression.
In an AND expression in XPath, if one of the conditions is false, the entire expression returns false.
The 'starts-with' function in XPath is used to select nodes that start with a specified text.
The 'text()' function in XPath is used to select the text content of a node.
The 'following' axis in XPath selects all nodes that come after the current node.
The 'ancestor' axis in XPath selects all ancestors of the current node.
