@The comments of this answer:

You can create a method to make it look simpler

String xml = "goodhi";

System.out.printf("satus= %s\n", getValue("/resp/status", xml ) );

The implementation:

public String getValue( String path, String xml ) { 
    return XPathFactory
               .newInstance()
               .newXPath()
               .evaluate( path , new InputSource(
                                 new StringReader(xml)));

}
