Where You Can Use XPath Expressions

You use XPath expressions in XQuery documents and XSLT stylesheets to select the nodes you want to transform and query. For example, you can specify queries as values of match and select attributes in stylesheets. You can use XPath 1.0 expressions in XQuery and XSLT 1.0, and XPath 2.0 expressions in XSLT 2.0.

You can also query XML documents using the XPath Query Editor. Stylus Studio displays the results in the Query Output window, Stylus Studio displays the result of the query.
