XPath Find items

Question

How can I return all the 'make' items from the xml document using an xpath query

<vehicles>
<car>
    <make>Benz</make>
    <make>Nissan</make>
</car>
<motorbike>
    <make>Honda</make>
</motorbike>

Answer 1

I would use /*/*/make. (You could use //make, but I try to avoid // for efficiency reasons.)

The w3schools has a good tutorial on XPath: http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp

Also, you should add </vehicles> to your XML to make it well formed.
