XPath to get all child nodes (elements, comments, and text) without parent

by

From the documentation of XPath ( http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#location-paths ):

child::* selects all element
children of the context node

child::text() selects all text node
children of the context node

child::node() selects all the
children of the context node, whatever
their node type

So I guess your answer is:

$doc/PRESENTEDIN/X/child::node()

And if you want a flatten array of all nested nodes:

$doc/PRESENTEDIN/X/descendant::node()
