  • 2051

Introduction

The location steps have specified the exact number of nodes or nodes in the path. They can also used the wildcards to specify the unknown nodes. The location path can be absolute or relative. An absolute location path can be start with the slash "/" whereas the relative path does not. The location path consists of one or many steps in both the relative as well as absolute path, each separated by the sign of slash "/".

Example

Absolute Path

/node1/node2/node3/.....

/node1/node2/node3/*

Relative Path

node1/node2/node3/..........

node1/node2/node3/*

This is used in XPath Axis, like,

child::*/child::name  That means select all the name grandchildren of the current node.
