XPath was developed as part of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards. It was introduced in 1999 to provide a common syntax and semantics for addressing parts of an XML document. Its creation aimed to facilitate the navigation and manipulation of XML data, making it easier to extract and query specific information within XML structures.
