  • Extensible markup language (XML) path (XPATH) debugging framework
    Patent number: 10394685
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to XPATH expression debugging and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for an XPATH expression debugging framework. In an embodiment of the invention, an XPATH expression debugging method can include receiving an XPATH input expression, parsing the XPATH input expression to produce a group of sub-expressions, and ordering the sub-expressions in a model for the XPATH input expression. Thereafter, in response to a selection of one of the sub-expressions in the model, a result set can be produced for the sub-expression.
