I have map xml as below. I can retrieve a value using XPath but can I retrieve object instead?. For example I want Map object to be retured if I say /list/* . Is it possible to retrieve as object.

<list>
    <map>
        <val name="obj_type">USER</val>
        <val name="ret_name">user</val>
        <list name="attributes">
            <map>
                <val name="obj_type">USER_ID</val>
                <val name="ret_name">userID</val>
            </map>
            <map>
                <val name="obj_type">
                    USER_UsernamePasswordCredential
                </val>
                <list name="attributes">
                    <map>
                        <val name="obj_type">UNP_Username</val>
                        <val name="ret_name">UserName</val>
                    </map>
                    <map>
                        <val name="obj_type">UNP_Password</val>
                        <val name="ret_name">Password</val>
                    </map>
                </list>
            </map>
        </list>
    </map>
</list>
