Use the XPath Expression Builder to add expressions for XML data
XPath (XML Path Language) is a non-XML syntax for addressing portions of an XML document. It is used mostly as
a query language for XML data, just as the SQL language is used to query databases. For more information on XPath,
see the XPath language specification on the W3C website at
www.w3.org/TR/xpath .
