XPath 1.0 The original W3C spec (1999). Fully supported natively in all browsers via document.evaluate(). Covers node navigation, predicates, string, number and boolean functions.
XPath 2.0 W3C spec (2007). Adds sequences, typed values, regular expressions, and dozens of new string/aggregate functions. Evaluated via the built-in polyfill.
XPath 3.0 W3C spec (2014). Adds the || concat operator, => arrow operator, ! simple-map, math: namespace, and higher-order functions. Polyfill-powered in this tester.
XPath 3.1 W3C spec (2017). Introduces maps and arrays as first-class types, plus JSON integration functions. Native browser support is limited — these examples run through the polyfill engine.
Map and array literals (map{}, []) are not evaluable in the browser DOM engine. The examples below show the string/node functions from 3.1 that do work, plus the syntax reference for map/array for learning.
