Summary XPath Analyzer is an xpath utility that will allow you to evaluate queries against an xml instance.

The xpath analyzer will allow you to load from the file system or you can cut and paste into an editable area. Once loaded, the tool will display formatted xml in it's own pane. The lower pain displays the result nodes. This tool also detects namespace declarations and allows you to bind them to the document. Also included is a handy link to MSDN's xpath tutorial. The utility is written as an HTA application and utilizes DHTML, XSLT, and MSXML4.0

XPath Analyzer is a simple utility tool that will allow you to evaluate queries against an xml instance. It's writen as an HTA Application. For those who aren't familiar with HTA's, it's basically an HTML file with different security permissions and a few extensions. Right now you're probably saying to yourself, Special Security Permissions! Screw that!, let me reassure you that I'm not doing anything malicious or making any attempt to violate your privacy. But if you don't believe me, the code is not encrypted so take a look for yourself before running the application.

To launch the application unzip the files and double click on XPathAnalyzer.hta. Next, load a well formed xml document from your file system by clicking the Load button. By default, Xpath Analyzer is set to use MSXML 4.0. If you don't have MSXML4.0 XPath Analyzer will prompt you install it. However, if you choose not to install you can select MSXML3.0 which is installed by IE6.0. This will load the xml instance into memory and display the xml in the top pane. Xpath Analyzer will also detect all your namespace bindings from the instance and load them to the namespace bindings drop down.
