I have a requirement here, I would try to keep it in very simple terms,
I have a raw information in the form of XML:
<MyFruits>
<Apple>23</Apple>
<Mango>12</Mango>
<Orange>10</Orange>
<Apple>19</Apple>
</MyFruits>
I want to get only unique fruits among them. (Apple,Mango and Orange)
Can anyone write an XPath to retrieve this?

Hint :
Had the XML be like below
<MyFruits>
<Apple>23</Apple>
<Apple>19</Apple>
<Mango>12</Mango>
<Orange>10</Orange>
</MyFruits>
This XPath would have worked
//MyFruits/*[not(name(.)=name(following-sibling::*))]

This is not possible in XPath 1.0 and is quite simple in XPath 2.0
ReplyDeletedistinct-values(/MyFruits/*/name()) Would fetch the unique values from entire XML in XPath2.0
You can test XPath 2.0 here http://videlibri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xidelcgi
