FAQ

What does an XML Attribute Extractor do?

It finds and lists values for a specific attribute name across XML tags.

Do I need to provide an attribute name?

Yes. Add the attribute name after the separator so the tool knows what to extract.

Can it extract multiple matching values?

Yes. It can return all matching values found in the XML document.

What is the difference between XML Attribute Extractor and XML Path Extractor?

XML Attribute Extractor reads attribute values from tags, while XML Path Extractor reads nested tag text.

Why is my output empty?

The most common reasons are invalid XML, the wrong attribute name, or XML that does not contain that attribute.
