Description
On xml file, give option "XML: Evaluate xpath" in command palette to evaluate xpath expression on currently open xml document.
I tried following extensions but they are not working for me.
- XML tools (not actively maintained)
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DotJoshJohnson.xml - Xpath tester ( does not seem to work with xml files containing namespace )
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=creinbacher.xpathtester
It will be great if it works like below extension which is there for Visual Studio IDE (another microsoft IDE)

Research direction
Start by reviewing how the extension registers actions in the command palette and how it accesses the currently open XML document. Define the XPath evaluation flow and its expected behavior, including the namespace case raised in the issue; done means an XML document offers the command and evaluates the entered expression.
