Forms: HTTP XML Namespaces

Xml Namespaces are used for providing uniquely named elements and attributes in an XML document. In the case when XML data is being retrieved by a HTTP Datasource/Collector it may be necessary to configure such namespace name/value pairs in order to distinguish between elements and attributes in the data when defining the Collector Xpath expression or the corresponding stream attribute expressions.

Form: XML Namespaces Details

The following fields are configured on the Details tab:

Field Description
Name

The name/prefix used as an alias to reference the full namespace URI value below.

Note that the name here does not need to match the name/prefix used in the actual XML data, although it is recommended to do so for simplicity. However whatever name is used here must match the name/prefix used in the Response XPath field of the HTTP Collector.

Value

The URI (Uniform resource Identifier) used to identify a specific resource under the control of an organization defining the vocabulary.

i.e http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml describes the XHTML namespace and contains all the human readable documentation/syntax for this XML vocabulary. Note that the full URI including the http:// prefix is required in this field.
