XPointer vs. XPath

XPointer is based upon XPath:
  • an XPointer expression is basically the same as an XPath expression
  • XPath says nothing about URIs; XPointer specifies that connection
  • an XPath expression is evaluated wrt. a context; XPointer specifies this context
  • XPointer adds some features not available in XPath
