I'm a newbie to Xpath and can't solve this for a few hours now.
I've got an xml response from maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?latlng=51,0
which contains multiple "results", and each "result" may contain multiple "address_component".
Response is parsed in specific prog, and it can't use concatenations like



/GeocodeResponse[1]/status[text()='OK'] | /GeocodeResponse[1]/result[1]/type | /GeocodeResponse[1]/result[1]/address_component[1]...


and it can be done only through one request like



/GeocodeResponse[1]/[self::status[text()='OK'] or self::result[1]/type or self::result[1]/address_component[1]]


but this path returns all "results", while I need only the first one and nodes inside it("type", "formatted_address") and sub-nodes ("long_name","short_name") of a certain "address_component"'s nodes in it.
Output example:



GeocodeResponse[1]/status

GeocodeResponse[1]/result[1]/type[1]

GeocodeResponse[1]/result[1]/formatted_address[1]

GeocodeResponse[1]/result[1]/address_component/short_name - where "address_component" contains "types" with text ('street_number', 'route', 'locality', 'administrative_area_level_1', 'postal_code')


Source xml response looks like:



`<GeocodeResponse>

  • fail example is xpath /GeocodeResponse[1]/[self::status[text()='OK']/text() or self::result/address_component/long_name[text()='Hazel Grove']] returns "status" and only first "result". But I want to explicitly result[1] and not the whole "result" node, but only matched "address_component/long_name"

Based from what I can understand from your question including your comments, is this what you want?



//GeocodeResponse[status='OK']/result[address_component/long_name[.='Hazel Grove']][1]


It gets the first result child node of GeocodeResponse node (which has a child status = OK). With the result node having a descendant long_name (which has a value of 'Hazel Grove').



EDIT



Please have this xpath instead:



//GeocodeResponse[status='OK']/result[address_component/long_name[.='Hazel Grove']][1]/(preceding-sibling::status|type[1]|formatted_address[1]|address_component/short_name[../type='street_number' or ../type='route' or ../type='locality' or ../type='administrative_area_level_1' or ../type='postal_code'])


base on my testing on your XML, it outputs
