Creating XPath Location Paths
You’re already familiar with the XPath way of thinking of documents; for example, it’s XPath that defines the seven types of document nodes:
The root node. The very start of the document. This node represents the entire document in XPath.
Element nodes. Represents an element in XPath trees, as bounded by a start and matching end tag, or a single empty element tag.
Attribute nodes. The value of an attribute after entity references have been expanded and surrounding whitespace has been trimmed.
