+### GetXML
+
+`GetXML(target, xpath)`
+
+The `GetXML` Converter returns an XML string with selected elements.
+
+`target` is a Getter that returns a string. This string should be in XML format.
+If `target` is not a string, nil, or is not valid xml, `GetXML` will return an error.
+
+`xpath` is a string that specifies an [XPath](https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116/) expression that
+selects one or more elements. Currently, this converter only supports selecting elements.
+
+Examples:
+
+Get all elements at the root of the document with tag "a"
+
+- `GetXML(body, "/a")`
+
+Gel all elements anywhere in the document with tag "a"
+
+- `GetXML(body, "//a")`
+
+Get the first element at the root of the document with tag "a"
+
+- `GetXML(body, "/a[1]")`
+
+Get all elements in the document with tag "a" that have an attribute "b" with value "c"
+
+- `GetXML(body, "//a[@b='c']")`
+
 ### Hex
 
 `Hex(value)`
