Example of an XPath

For an API call returning content of type application/xml, this sample could be part of the reply:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SalesOrder>
   <SalesOrderHeader>
      <CustomerParty>
         <PartyIDs>
	      <ID
		 accountingEntity="customer180"
		 lid="lid://infor.app.nldv1180">RGT000043</ID>
	   </PartyIDs>
	   <Name>Purchasing Business Partner</Name>
	   <Location type="Office">
	      <Address>
		   <AttentionOfName>Millers &amp; Co.</AttentionOfName>
		   <AddressLine sequence="1">De Dam 1</AddressLine>
		   <AddressLine sequence="2"/>
		   <CityName>Amsterdam</CityName>
		   <CountrySubDivisionCode>NH</CountrySubDivisionCode>
		   <CountryCode>NL</CountryCode>
		   <PostalCode>1001 BA</PostalCode>
		</Address>
	   </Location>
	   <Location type="Billing">
	      <ID 
               accountingEntity="customer180"
		   lid="lid://infor.app.nldv1180">D_RGSLS1</ID>
		<Name>Regional Office</Name>
	   </Location>
	</CustomerParty>
   </SalesOrderHeader>	
</SalesOrder>

To retrieve the city name where the customer’s office is located, you can use an XPath expression with a filter on the Location attribute @type:

SalesOrder/SalesOrderHeader/CustomerParty/Location[@type=”Office”]/Address/CityName

The resulting value in this case is "Amsterdam".
