This post was inspired by great this find, which I managed to search while working on one project. It happens few times in the past that some interested content was not available any more and in order to save this great cheatsheet I am copying it from LeCoupa

// 11. XPath Functions.
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XPath/Functions


// 11.1. Conversion.


boolean(expression)  // evaluates an expression and returns true or false.
string([object])     // converts the given argument to a string.
number([object])     // converts an object to a number and returns the number.


// 11.2. Math.


ceiling(number)  // evaluates a decimal number and returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to the decimal number.
floor(number)    // evaluates a decimal number and returns the largest integer less than or equal to the decimal number.
round(decimal)   // returns a number that is the nearest integer to the given number.
sum(node-set)    // returns a number that is the sum of the numeric values of each node in a given node-set.


// 11.3. Logic.


true()           // returns a boolean value of true.
false()          // returns boolean false.
not(expression)  // evaluates a boolean expression and returns the opposite value.


// 11.4. Node.


lang(string)               // determines whether the context node matches the given language and returns boolean true or false.
name([node-set])           // returns a string representing the QName of the first node in a given node-set.
namespace-uri([node-set])  // returns a string representing the namespace URI of the first node in a given node-set.


// 11.5. Context.


count(node-set)           // counts the number of nodes in a node-set and returns an integer.
function-available(name)  // determines if a given function is available and returns boolean true or false.
last()                    // returns a number equal to the context size from the expression evaluation context.
position()                // returns a number equal to the context position from the expression evaluation context.


// 11.6. String.


contains(haystack-string, needle-string)  // determines whether the first argument string contains the second argument string and returns boolean true or false.
concat(string1, string2 [stringn]*)       // concatenates two or more strings and returns the resulting string.
normalize-space(string)                   // strips leading and trailing white-space from a string, replaces sequences of whitespace characters by a single space, and returns the resulting string.
starts-with(haystack, needle)             // checks whether the first string starts with the second string and returns true or false.
string-length([string])                   // returns a number equal to the number of characters in a given string.
substring(string, start [length])         // returns a part of a given string.
substring-after(haystack, needle)         // returns a string that is the rest of a given string after a given substring.
substring-before(haystack, needle)        // returns a string that is the rest of a given string before a given substring.
translate(string, abc, XYZ)               // evaluates a string and a set of characters to translate and returns the translated string.


// 12. XPath Axes.

ancestor            // indicates all the ancestors of the context node beginning with the parent node and traveling through to the root node.
ancestor-or-self    // indicates the context node and all of its ancestors, including the root node.
attribute (@)       // indicates the attributes of the context node. Only elements have attributes. This axis can be abbreviated with the at sign (@).
child (/)           // indicates the children of the context node. If an XPath expression does not specify an axis, this is understood by default. Since only the root node or element nodes have children, any other use will select nothing.
descendant (//)     // indicates all of the children of the context node, and all of their children, and so forth. Attribute and namespace nodes are not included - the parent of an attribute node is an element node, but attribute nodes are not the children of their parents.
descendant-or-self  // indicates the context node and all of its descendants. Attribute and namespace nodes are not included - the parent of an attribute node is an element node, but attribute nodes are not the children of their parents.
following           // indicates all the nodes that appear after the context node, except any descendant, attribute, and namespace nodes.
following-sibling   // indicates all the nodes that have the same parent as the context node and appear after the context node in the source document.
parent(..)          // indicates the single node that is the parent of the context node. It can be abbreviated as two periods (..).
preceding           // indicates all the nodes that precede the context node in the document except any ancestor, attribute and namespace nodes.
preceding-sibling   // indicates all the nodes that have the same parent as the context node and appear before the context node in the source document.
self (.)            // indicates the context node itself. It can be abbreviated as a single period (.).
