More about XPath
XPath is a powerful language used for navigating through an XML document. It can be used to select specific elements, attributes, or even text within an XML document. When using XPath in your flow, you can use it to filter out certain nodes and extract data from the XML tree structure. You can also use it to query related data across multiple documents and perform complex searches without having to write any code. Additionally, XPath allows you to create dynamic flows that are triggered by changes in the underlying data structure of the XML file.
