Remarks

This property provides a way to point to a specific element in the response. This property implements a subset of the XML XPath specification, allowing you to point to specific elements in the XML documents.

The path is a series of one or more element accessors separated by '/'. The path can be absolute (starting with '/') or relative to the current x_path location.

The following are possible values for an element accessor:

When x_path is set to a valid path, x_element points to the name of the element, with x_parent, x_namespace, x_prefix, x_children, and x_text providing other properties of the element. The attributes of the current element will be contained in the attributes properties.

build_dom must be set to True prior to parsing the document for the x_path functionality to be available.
