    The document discusses different XPath locators that can be used to locate elements on a web page in Selenium tests, including using ., .., /, //, @, [], contains(), and others. It provides examples of how to find elements based on id, tag name, attributes, text content, position, and more. The locators allow locating elements from the root node of the page or from any level in the DOM tree in a flexible way.

    . Represent the Current Node e.g.

    String
    var=driver.findElement(By.id("vs")).findElement(By.xpath(".")).getText(
    );
    System.out.println(var);
    .. Represent the Parent Node of the Selected Node.
    e.g.
    driver.findElement(By.id("vs")).findElement(By.xpath("..")).getTagName(
    );
    / Always Starts From the Root Node. i.e. HTML node. Always search the element from the
    Beginning.
    e.g. driver.FindElement(/html).getAttribute(outerHTML)
    // Start finding out the Element into given web page. It may be present at any level. E.g.
    String
    var=driver.findElement(By.id("vs")).findElement(By.xpath("..")).findEle
    ment(By.xpath("//div")).getText();
    System.out.println(var);
    @ @ Symbol we used only for Attributes. In Selenium we identify the elements, so here we can
    take the help of @ tag to identify the elements with the help of matching attributes.
    Example 1:

    String
    var=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//div[@surname]")).getAttribute("outer
    HTML");
    Here we are finding out an element having tag name div and having
    attribute name as surname

    Note: In Above example we are identifying the Element having Tag Name
    div and which contains attribute name surname

    Example 2:

    List<WebElement>
    matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@name][@surname]"))
    ;
    for(WebElementsingwebelement : matchingObjects)
    {

    System.out.println(singwebelement.getAttribute("name")+"
    "+singwebelement.getAttribute("surname"));

    Note: In Above example we are finding out the Element having Tag Name
    div and which contains attribute name surname and name

    Example 3:

    List<WebElement>
    matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[@name='manish'][@su
    rname='joshi']"));//.getAttribute("outerHTML");
    for(WebElementsingwebelement : matchingObjects)
    {
    System.out.println("--------
    "+singwebelement.getAttribute("name")+"
    "+singwebelement.getAttribute("surname"));

    Note: In Above example we are finding out the Element having Tag Name
    div and which contains attribute name surname and name having
    values manish and joshi respectively.

    Tagname List<WebElement>
    [index] matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table/table[0]"));
    Note: In above example it will first find out the element having tag
    name table and inside this table tag he will find out the another
    element having tag name table having index 0.
    Tagname List<WebElement>
    [last()] matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table/table[last()]"));
    Note: In above example it will first find out the element having tag
    name table and inside this table tag he will find out the child
    elements having tag name Table, but will return you the last child
    object reference.
    Tagname List<WebElement>
    [last()-1] matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table/table[last()-
    1]"));
    Note: In above example it will first find out the element having tag
    name table and inside this table tag he will find out the child
    elements having tag name Table, but will return you the second last
    child object reference.
    Tagname List<WebElement>
    [position matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table/table[position()<
    ()<3]
    3]"));

    Note: In above example it will first find out the element having tag
    name table and inside this table tag he will find out all the child
    elements having tag name Table, but will return you the first 2.
    List<WebElement>matchingObjects=driver.findElements(By.xpath("
    //table//*[th=\"COOKING\"]"))
    Above Example will return you all the child elements under table whose
    th tag matches with cooking
    | OR

    //book/ Selects all the title AND price elements of all book elements
    title |
    //book/
    price
    * Matches any Element
    //* Selects all elements in the document

    Contai Finds the Element under table whose th element contains CHIL
    ns //table/*[contains(.,"CHIL")]
    Case //table//*[contains(translate(.,'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ','abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv
    Insens wxyz'),'cooking')]
    itivity
    Identifying child element which contains cooking text. Here . represents the current
    element.
