Question

Can I find one XML node with the most children with XPath?

  
    
  
  
    <         


        

Answer 1

I know this is pretty old, but if it helps anyone out, I wanted to do this and I think this works, at least it does for me:

/xml/node[count(./child) > count(following-sibling::node/child) and count(./child) > count(preceding-sibling::node/child)]

I'm not great with Xpath so maybe I'm missing something.
