XML to Variable Node
The XML to Variable node allows you to extract specific XML node data into workflow variables using XPath expressions. XPath (XML Path Language) is a query language for selecting and processing XML data. XPath includes over 200 built-in functions, and include functions for string values, numeric values, booleans, date and time comparison, node manipulation, sequence manipulation, and much more.
