		<description><![CDATA[In this post we&#8217;ll survey some options for evaluating XPath expressions with Java in a more industrial, performance-sensitive fashion. Although not exhaustive our analysis will provide a framework for comparing the solutions and expose some tradeoffs.

But perhaps you didn&#8217;t know that your browser supports XPath 1.0.
