Is there a way to get element by XPath using JavaScript in Selenium WebDriver

Question

I am looking for something like:

getElementByXpath(//html[1]/body[1]/div[1]).innerHTML

I need to get the innerHTML of elements using JS (to use that in Selenium WebDriver/Java, since WebDriver can't find it itself), but how?

I could use ID attribute, but not all elements have ID attribute.

You can use the document.evaluate:

Evaluates an XPath expression string and returns a result of the specified type if possible.
