Convert xPath to JSoup query

Question

Does anyone know of an xPath to JSoup convertor? I get the following xPath from Chrome:

 //*[@id="docs"]/div[1]/h4/a

and would like to change it into a Jsoup query. The path contains an href I'm trying to reference.

Answer 1

I am using Google Chrome Version 47.0.2526.73 m (64-bit) and I can now directly copy the Selector path which is compatible with JSoup

Copied Selector of the element in the screenshot span.com is
#question > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td.postcell > div > div.post-text > pre > code > span.com

Answer 2

This is very easy to convert manually.

Something like this (not tested)

document.select("#docs > div:eq(1) > h4 > a").attr("href");

Documentation:
