Radiation of most of the known pulsars is powered by the loss of their rotational energy and angular momentum. Thanks to the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories, X-ray emission has been detected from over 100 rotation-powered pulsars in the last 12 years. I will overview the current results of X-ray observations of rotation-powered pulsars, including the evolution of the X-ray properties, thermal and magnetospheric components of X-ray emission, and connection between the X-ray emission and emission at other wavelengths.
