Description

An AbsoluteLocationPath selects nodes on the absolute location path starting at the document root. It consists of "/" optionally followed by a relative location path. The operator "/" by itself selects the root node of the document. If it is followed by a relative location path, then the location path selects the set of nodes that would be selected by the relative location path relative to the root node of the document. Alternatively you can use an abbreviated absolute location path.
