Use the XPath name () function. One XPath expression to obtain the name of the top (not root!) element is: The name () function returns the fully-qualified name of the node, so for an element <bar:foo/> the string "bar:foo" will be returned.
XPath - Root Node. Following are the ways to get root element and do the processing afterwards. Use Wildcard. Use /* , wild card expression to select the root node. Use Name. Use /class, to select root node by name. Use Name with wild card. Use /class/*, select all element under root node.
The key characteristic of XPath is that it begins with the single forward slash (/) ,which means you can select the element from the root node. Below is the example of an absolute xpath expression of the element shown in the below screen.
