In continuation of the previous articles on Relative XPath Expressions, I am going to explain the usage of XPath Functions as part of XPath Expressions in this article.
Pre-requisites:

• > Refer previous articles on Relative XPath Expressions

Let’s get started.

Selenium Locators – XPath Functions

The following are the different XPath functions that are generally used in Selenium:

1. text()
2. contains()
3. starts-with()
4. last()
5. position()

Apart from the above listed functions, we have below functions in XPath that we don’t generally use in Selenium:

1. id()
2. name()
3. count()
4. local-name()
5. namespace-uri()
6. string()
7. concat()
8. substring-before()
9. substring-after()
10. substring()
11. string-length()
12. normalize-space()
13. translate()
14. boolean()
15. not()
16. true()
17. false()
18. lang()
19. number()
20. sum()
21. floor()
22. ceiling()
23. round()

As already mentioned, we don’t have to learn all the functions listed above, intead we should only learn the first five functions as part of Selenium (i.e. text(), contains(), starts-with(), last() and position())

I will practically demonstrate all these required 5 functions of XPath in the next article.
