If no namespace mapping exists, you must remove the namespaces to access individual entities of an HTTP call over XPath. Namespaces are prefixes that identify the source or context of an XML element or attribute. If the namespaces are not mapped to a URI, they can cause errors or conflicts when using XPath expressions. Therefore, you must remove the namespaces before applying XPath queries.
