How many types of xpath are there?

 In Selenium, there are mainly two types of XPath used for locating elements: 1. Absolute XPath: This XPath starts from the root node and follows the complete path to the element. It is highly specific and is dependent on the structure of the HTML document. Example: /html/body/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/span 2. Relative XPath: This XPath starts from any element in the HTML document (not necessarily from the root). It is more flexible and commonly used because it is less likely to break if the structure of the page changes slightly. Example: //div[@class='example'] Additionally, XPath can be classified by the type of syntax used for selecting elements: Attribute-based XPath: Selects elements based on their attributes (e.g., id, class, name, etc.). Example: //input[@name='username'] Text-based XPath: Selects elements based on their text content. Example: //button[text()='Submit'] Contains() function: Allows partial matching of attributes or text. Example: //a[contains(@...

HTTP Vs HTTPS

 HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) are both protocols used for transmitting data over the internet, but they have some key differences: 1. **Security**: The primary difference between HTTP and HTTPS is security. HTTP operates over plain text, meaning the data exchanged between the web browser and the server is not encrypted. This makes it vulnerable to interception and tampering. On the other hand, HTTPS uses SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) protocols to encrypt the data transmitted between the client and the server, providing a secure connection. 2. **Encryption**: HTTPS encrypts the data during transmission, making it unreadable to anyone who may intercept it. This encryption ensures data integrity and confidentiality, protecting sensitive information such as login credentials, personal details, and financial transactions. 3. **Authentication**: HTTPS also provides authentication, ensuring that the client is c...
