[annotator-dev] About the future of the Range implementation

Wed Jun 18 06:21:25 UTC 2014

Just a question: why did you choose xpath instead of css selector which are
parsed by jquery?

Is there a javascript library which parses xpath? If I remember well you
implemented an xpath finder in annotator, but probably it would be usefull
to have it as a separate component too.

Cheers,
