import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Selenium_Latest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create and start two threads, one for each browser.

        Thread firefoxThread = new Thread(new BrowserRunnable("firefox"));

        chromeThread.start();
        firefoxThread.start();
    }

}

// Runnable class for launching a browser

Selenium XPath in detail

What is XPATH?

It is an XML path.
It is one of the locator types in selenium.
It uses path expression to navigate in XML documents and to identify a node or number of nodes.
XPath is used to handle complex and dynamic paths.

Types of XPATH in Selenium:

1. Absolute XPath
2. Relative XPath

What is Absolute XPath?

Absolute path starts from <HTML> tag.
It uses / ( forward slash ).
It is used to identify any element direct way by consider all the tag starts from <HTML> tag.
It is much more faster than "Relative xpath" as it holds the direct path to the target node/tag/element from start <Html> tag.
But we will mostly use this one if it holds a long string path and is difficult to maintain or handle. It is not a shortend path.

What is Relative XPath?

It uses // ("forward double slash").
It will consider any node/element/tag as a refernce point from where either we can traverse forard or reverse direction to identify target node/tag.
It is mostly used as we are considering any node as a reference node (stable node) from a DOM.
