When I have 2 set of nodes with same element name for ex :

<contacts>
    <names>
      ...
    </names>
    <names>
      ...
    </names>
</contacts>

Normally I’d use //contacts/names to get the node, but how do I do if they have the same name how do I get second or first or nth?

    You can do this to get the first and/or second specifically:

    //contacts/names[1]
    //contacts/names[2]
