As a general tip on "how to fish" when having issue like that: put a STOP statement right after the problematic parse/ingest of xml/json. That throws you into console - and then via telnet there use ? (print) commands to figure out the exact access path:

true
See how i "fished" for the data, w/o process being mentally taxing?


Oh that is very helpful indeed! Many thanks, sir!
