Xpath to select value of sibling attribute with namespace?

With a prefix bound to schemas.android.com/apk/res/android namespace: manifest /application /meta-data@a:name='uniqueappversionid' /@a:value.

With a prefix bound to schemas.android.com/apk/res/android namespace: /manifest /application /meta-data@a:name='uniqueappversionid' /@a:value.

Ok, there's probably a better approach, but this is what I've ended up using: //meta-data@*='uniqueappversionid'/@*2 I'd greatly appreciate suggestions to improve this!

Never use positional predicates for attributes. XML parsers don't have any obligation to preserve source order. – user357812 Apr 1 at 20:04 1 It would be better //meta-data@*='uniqueappversionid'/@*.!='uniqueappversionid' – user357812 Apr 1 at 20:07 Shorter: //@*.

='uniqueappversionid'/../@*.!= 'uniqueappversionid' – Dimitre Novatchev Apr 3 at 16:19.

Your question has as much to do with the framework in which you are executing your XPath query as with the content of the XPath query itself. For example, here's how you would do it in XSLT: The means of namespace setup here is through xmlns attributes on the XSLT elements under which the XPath query is nested. In a typical imperative programming language environment, you're probably more likely to have to set up namespace aliases through parameterization of the XML object(s) against which you are evaluating the query.To specify an answer for such an environment, you'd have to get specific about the XML framework.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
