`typescript

import parse from "saxxmlparser";

var xml = readFileSync("xml.xml");

parse(xml).then((node) => {
var price = node.resolveNSPath(
"A:envelope/A:body/B:getstockPriceResponsE/B:price", // Put the absolute path to the child in here
{
A: "http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope",

Sometimes when you only want a specific child but the parents or the path does not matter

`typescript
import { readFileSync } from "fs";
import parse from "saxxmlparser";

var xml = readFileSync("xml.xml");

parse(xml).then((node) => {
// A double slash (//) in front of the search triggers a child search
var price = node.resolveNSPath(
"//B:price", // Put the absolute path to the child in here
{
A: "http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope",
B: "http://www.example.org/stock",
}
);
console.log(price.value); // Prints 34.5
});
