RE: What is XPath? Is this a W3C standard or product name?

[Brian Young <Brian.Young@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

My (limited, I'm no expert) understanding is that XPath (XML Path Language) is the language used in select and test XSLT attribute values.  I think of it like SQL, but that is a gross simplification.  It lets you traipse through the parsed tree of your XML.  In any case, it is a W3C standard, which you can refer to at http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath.

Thanks,
   Brian Young

Hi, All...
 
I have been asked, "What is XPath? Is this a W3C standard or  product
name?". I did not
have a concrete reply on the tip of my tongue. Can anyone, here, help me out
with 
this?
 
Thank you,
Eric
