Abstract
This specification defines the XML Pointer Language (XPointer), the language
to be used as the basis for a fragment identifier for any URI reference that
locates a resource whose Internet media type is one of text/xml
, application/xml
, text/xml-external-parsed-entity
, or application/xml-external-parsed-entity
.
Status of this Document
This document has been superceded.
The design described in previous versions of this document has been factored into a basic framework (https://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-framework/) which defines XPointer schemes and simple "barename" fragment identifiers, and three additional schemes: https://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-element/, for addressing elements by their position in the document tree, https://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xmlns/, for binding namespace prefixes to namespace name and https://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xpointer/, for full XPath-based addressing.
For information about the requirements that informed development of this specification, see https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-xptr-req.
