Is there a query language for XML?

Question

Is there a language that I can use to query an XML document and have result set returned. The same way I can use SQL to query a dtabase and get a result set?

Yes, and it's called XPath:

XPath is a language for addressing parts of an XML document, designed to be used by both XSLT and XPointer.

I've found something called XQuery: http://www.w3schools.com/xQuery/default.asp. Sounds like it might do what I need. – Jul 08 '14 at 08:22
