Google Chrome provides a built-in debugging tool called  Chrome DevTools  out of the box  which includes a handy feature that can evaluate or validate XPath CSS selectors without any third party extensions   This can be done by two approaches   Use the search function inside Elements panel to evaluate XPath CSS selectors and highlight matching nodes in the DOM  Execute tokens  x  some xpath   or     css-selectors   in Console panel  which will both evaluate and validate   From Elements panel   Press F12 to open up Chrome DevTools  Elements panel should be opened by default  Press Ctrl   F to enable DOM searching in the panel  Type in XPath or CSS selectors to evaluate  If there are matched elements  they will be highlighted in DOM  However  if there are matching strings inside DOM  they will be considered as valid results as well  For example  CSS selector header should match everything  inline CSS  scripts etc   that contains the word header  instead of match only elements      From Console panel   Press F12 to open up Chrome DevTools  Switch to Console panel  Type in XPath like  x     header   to evaluate and validate  Type in CSS selectors like     header   to evaluate and validate  Check results returned from console execution    If elements are matched  they will be returned in a list  Otherwise an empty list     is shown    x     article     lt article class  unit-article layout-post  gt     lt  article gt     x     not-a-tag         If the XPath or CSS selector is invalid  an exception will be shown in red text  For example    x     header    SyntaxError  Failed to execute  evaluate  on  Document   The string     header   is not a valid XPath expression       header id     SyntaxError  Failed to execute  querySelectorAll  on  Document    header id    is not a valid selector

Slightly OT  but perhaps useful  On Mac Chrome  although you cannot copy the xpath out of the search box in the Dev tools panel  instead  copy grabs the node as HTML   you can drag and drop the text into an external editor
