XPath - a query that is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. Thus, it shows the path to the HTML element on your web page. Mind that if the page changes dynamically, the XPath turns to be incorrect. Selector - an HTML element or a group of HTML elements that can be described with different element attributes, such as a class, value, etc. |
