ok, I find that I can get the json element very easy but still haven't found
a way to get the attribute name.
$("Test", data).each(function(i){
     console.log($("[...@name]", this).text()); // does not work.
     console.log($("json", this).text());  // does work
});
I have tried with the following queries: /te...@name]
                                                       /t...@name
                                                       t...@name
                                                       ....@name

Is this jQuery not supporting attribute selectors or is my xpath wrong?

thanks in advance, jon.
