For example, suppose you had the following XML document. <a><b><c>foobar</c></b></a> The correct XPath expression for finding the node named "c" would be as follows. /a/b/c The above is based on the fact that "c" is nested inside of "b" and "b" is nested inside of "a". For another example, suppose the you had the following XML document. <a><b /><c>foobar</c></a> The correct XPath expression for finding the node named "c" would be as follows. /a/c As you can see from the above expression "c" is no longer nested inside of "b" so the expression reflects that.
