XML Switch On Node Type

This XML tool determines the node type and takes a different exit path depending on the type of the node. Only the more common node types are handled here. To determine the type of the less common nodes such as Entity Reference, Entity, Document Type, Document Fragment, or Notation, use the ‘Node Type’ result of the XML Get Node Info tool.
