Safari Guide is an XPath debugger designed for Safari that allows users to inspect and analyze XML and HTML documents. It helps developers identify and fix errors in their code, improving the overall quality of their web applications.
One of the most significant advantages of using Safari Guide is how easy it is to use. You can open any webpage or XML document directly in a Safari browser window before launching Safari Guide. After that, you need to type in your XPath expression into the text field and click the 'Evaluate' button. You would then start to see the sequence of nodes matching the expression appear.
Safari Guide is incredibly helpful in developing and debugging applications that used XPath. It serves as an ideal tool for learning more about XPath as well, thanks to its simplicity and elegance. Todd Ditchendorf developed Safari Guide.
The new release of Safari Guide comes with additional features, such as user help being available under the Help menu. Users now have access to links to tutorials and resources for learning XSTL, XPath, and XQuery. Additionally, you can now select and copy the text in the result tables under the XPath and XQuery tabs, making the software more user-friendly.
