如何使用xpath选择没有属性的节点？

Question

Let say that I have xml like this:

<root>
    <node light="somevalue">message1</node>
    <node dark="somevalue">message2</node>
    <node>message3</node>
</root>

With xpath usage I need to get "message3".

Does anybody know how I can achieve this?

Answer 1

I think you mean that you want to select nodes without attributes.

From XPath: How to select nodes which have no attributes?

//node[not(@*)]

This will select all nodes that do not have attributes.

Answer 2

/root/node[not(@*)]/text()
