xpath_validator
Validate boolean expressions with XPath syntax
validate('expression', 'value', 'context', 'returns_bool')
- expression: string with the expression text
- value: value that will be validated (it is replaced by the occurrences of '.' in the expression)
- context: dictionary that will make substitutions in $ {name}
- returns_bool: if true, automatically returns a boolean
