<span class="application">Libxml2</span> includes support for
use of <span class="application">XPath</span> expressions to retrieve sets of
nodes that match a specified criteria. Full documentation of the
<span class="application">XPath</span> <span class="acronym">API</span> is <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xpath.html" target="_top">here</a>.
</p><p><span class="application">XPath</span> allows searching through a document
for nodes that match specified criteria. In the example below we search
through a document for the contents of all <tt class="varname">keyword</tt>
elements.
