An on that massively unnecessarily spaced out screenshot - did you fully expand the debug output?
The value you seek should be there.
BUT - that said - as you dont also have a debug BEFORE the XML node - how can you be 100% certain of the data going in actually has that STATE tag?
you dont understand JSON? or you dont understand why its there? or you dont understand what its doing later in the flow? To me it looks like an artefact of some past COPY+PASTE (i.e. it looks like its doing nothing)
If I am honest, you look like you could benefit from 30 minutes watching this playlist. It is really easy to digest and it will help you enormously in node-red.
After watching them, you'll fix this no problem.
