I feel like a real dummy right now... Aren't modern web pages xhtml??? Isn't xhtml xml???
Removing support for XPath kills MANY tests. I feel like a crazy person. Can someone help with context?
- goto11 6y agoModern web pages are HTML. You can write HTML in a way that it is compliant with the XHTML standard and therefore also valid XML, but it will still be rendered by the HTML engine in the browser, not the XML engine.
- dathinab 6y agoNo, xhtml died. Pages are html and not neccessary xml compatible. XPath is used for html independent of xml (because the structure is very similar and as such querying html with xml based query systems can work). But for google it's part of their xml code base they don't want to touch.
