Xml XPATH tester

[fremat79]

What feature or new tool do you think should be added to DevToys?

It will be very nice to have an XPath tester available inside the dev toys suite like the jpath

Why do you think this is needed?

Testing xpath query will be more easy if done inside a dedicated tool, otherwise I need to use an online editor

Why This Feature is Needed
Convenience

Many developers currently rely on online tools for testing XPath queries, which can be inconvenient, especially in environments without internet access or where data privacy is a concern.
Having an offline solution within DevToys would streamline workflows, keeping everything in one place.
Enhanced Productivity

Switching between multiple tools or browsers disrupts focus. An integrated XPath Tester would eliminate the need for external tools.
Alignment with Existing Tools

DevToys already has tools like the JSONPath tester. Adding an XPath tester would complement it, catering to XML data in a similar way JSONPath caters to JSON.

The tool could leverage popular libraries like XPathEvaluator (for JavaScript-based environments) to parse and evaluate XPath queries.
To ensure a smooth UX, features like a dark mode, keyboard shortcuts, and context-sensitive help could also be included.
