xpath is adress path to a element or attribute of xml documet.

just like your the path to adress file in windows.

context object represents a xpath by a simple name for accessing element or attribute conveniently.

Hi

XPath is a language for finding information in an XML document. It is used to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. For e,g to do conditional routing i.e based on the payload data field you need to route into some receiver in that case you need to access that element. Totally there is a need to access xml element at any point of time.
