Question

I´m starting using xquery and I want to know how to get the values from 2 different type of tags.
for example:

xml

<elementType>value</elementType>
<otherElementType>value</elementType>
<elementType>value</elementType>
<elementType>value</elementType>

xquery

"for $b in $doc//elementType return stringg($b)" 
"for $b in $doc//otherElementType return stringg($b)" 

I want this but only using one query, how can that be done?

Answer 1

Use what is possibly the shortest expression:

//*[self::elementType or self::otherElementType]/string()
