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.

About Xpath
XPath's strengths include its powerful and flexible querying capabilities, support for complex expressions, and integration with other XML technologies like XSLT and XQuery. Its weaknesses are its steep learning curve and performance issues with very large XML documents. Competitors include JSONPath for JSON data, SQL for relational databases, and CSS selectors for HTML documents.
