    This example parses XML and uses an XPath expression...

    <p/>
    <c:set var="someXML">
      <people>
        <person>
          <name>Mark</name>
          <age>30</age>
        </person>
        <person>
          <name>Ruth</name>
          <age>29</age>
        </person>
      </people>
    </c:set>
    <x:parse var="parsedDocument" xml="${someXML}" />

    Here is a list of people:
    <ul>
      <x:forEach select="$parsedDocument/people/person">
        <li> <x:out select="name" /> </li>
      </x:forEach>
    </ul>
