[Feature Request] Add XPath 2.0 support for XML response filtering

See original GitHub issue

Filtering XML responses with current XPath 1.0 is total pain when lot of namespaces and default namespaces are present (i.e. VMWave API). Simple things like finding some element required ugly //*[local-name() = 'tagName' ] expressions. XPath 2.0 will allow much simpler expressions, you can use this module for upgrade.

I tried to do it myself, but haven’t succeeded in building project, so it might be very helpful if someone could provide proper Dockerfile for app development and building.

Essentially the current filtering is useless for any SOAP responses, likely a common reason us enterprise folks are working with XML.

Would love to see support updated.

I do hope this issue doesn’t get closed, as XPath 2.0 will provide much simpler filtering patterns.
