XML inSQL Query

We can use New way of selecting Nodes from XMl by using following:
Declare @xmlData xml
SET @xmlData='';
Declare @temp as table (id int, Name varchar(50))
Insert into @temp
SELECT
T.item.value('@id', 'int') as [id],
T.item.value('@first_name', 'varchar(50)') as [Name]
FROM @xmlData.nodes('/employee/user') AS T(item)
where T.item.value('@id', 'int')=57
So there is no need of using OPENXML() method.
