Overview

Provides access to an element’s attributes (XML::Attr).

Basic Usage:

require 'test_helper'

doc = XML::Document.new(<some_file>)
attributes = doc.root.attributes

attributes.each do |attribute|
  ..
end

attributes['foo'] = 'bar'
attribute = attributes.get_attribute['foo']
attribute.value == 'foo'

To access a namespaced attribute:

XLINK_URI = 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink'

attribute = attributes.get_attribute_ns(XLINK_URI, 'title')
attribute.value = 'My title'

Instance Method Details

#[]("name") ⇒ String

Fetches an attribute value. If you want to access the underlying Attribute itself use get_attribute.

name: The name of the attribute, not including any namespaces.

doc.root.attributes['att'] -> 'some value'

Returns:

  • (String)

  if (NIL_P(xattr))
    return Qnil;
  else

}

#[]=("name") ⇒ Object

Sets an attribute value. If you want to get the Attribute itself, use get_attribute.

name: The name of the attribute, not including any namespaces. value: The new value of the namespace.

doc.root.attributes['att'] = 'some value'

#get_attribute("name") ⇒ (XML::Attr | XML::AtrrDecl)

Returns the specified attribute. If the attribute does not exist but the document has an associated DTD that defines a default value for the attribute, then a XML::AttrDecl is returned.

name: The name of the attribute, not including a namespace.
