Hi Frank,
if you are looking for simple XPath expressions (like /tag/tag or //tag)
Xerces 3.0 will support them (by reusing the XPath processor used by the
XMLSchema engine). If you need more features (predicates, function
library, etc..) you will have to look at full processing engines like
XQilla or Xalan.

Hi,
I watched the list from xerces-C version 2.3 to 2.8 now, ever wondering
when finally XPath will be supported as part of the Xerces llibrary
itself. This does not seem to be planned at all, am I right?
What is the recommended way to use XPath queries on Xerces? Xalan only,
which I have to build against the appropriate Xerces distribution to fit
together? It still seems curious to me that I need to put two huge
libraries together just to get XPath queries work.
Nevertheless, is there a good tutorial to do so or even an alternative?
Thanks in advance.
Frank
