How can I extract the value of an attribute node via XPath?
A sample XML file is:
<parents name="Parents">
<Parent id='1' name="Parent_1">
<Children name="Children">
<child name="Child_2" id='2'>child2_Parent_1</child>
<child name="Child_4" id='4'>child4_Parent_1</child>
<child name="Child_1" id='3'>child1_Parent_1</child>
<child name="Child_3" id='1'>child3_Parent_1</child>
</Children>
</Parent>
<Parent id='2' name="Parent_2">
<Children name="Children">
<child name="Child_1" id='8'>child1_parent2</child>
<child name="Child_2" id='7'>child2_parent2</child>
<child name="Child_4" id='6'>child4_parent2</child>
<child name="Child_3" id='5'>child3_parent2</child>
</Children>
</Parent>
</parents>
So far I have this XPath string:
//Parent[@id='1']/Children/child[@name]
It returns only child elements, but I would like to have the value of the name attribute.
For my sample XML file, here’s what I’d like the output to be:
Child_2
Child_4
Child_1
Child_3
