Overview

Nokogiri::XML::Node is your window to the fun filled world of dealing with XML and HTML tags. A Nokogiri::XML::Node may be treated similarly to a hash with regard to attributes. For example (from irb):

irb(main):004:0> node
=> <a href="#foo" id="link">link</a>
irb(main):005:0> node['href']
=> "#foo"
irb(main):006:0> node.keys
=> ["href", "id"]
irb(main):007:0> node.values
=> ["#foo", "link"]
irb(main):008:0> node['class'] = 'green'
=> "green"
irb(main):009:0> node
=> <a href="#foo" id="link" class="green">link</a>
irb(main):010:0>

See Nokogiri::XML::Node#[] and Nokogiri::XML#[]= for more information.

Nokogiri::XML::Node also has methods that let you move around your tree. For navigating your tree, see:

  • Nokogiri::XML::Node#parent

  • Nokogiri::XML::Node#children

  • Nokogiri::XML::Node#next

  • Nokogiri::XML::Node#previous

When printing or otherwise emitting a document or a node (and its subtree), there are a few methods you might want to use:

  • content, text, inner_text, to_str: emit plaintext

    These methods will all emit the plaintext version of your document, meaning that entities will be replaced (e.g., “&lt;” will be replaced with “<”), meaning that any sanitizing will likely be un-done in the output.

  • to_s, to_xml, to_html, inner_html: emit well-formed markup

    These methods will all emit properly-escaped markup, meaning that it’s suitable for consumption by browsers, parsers, etc.

You may search this node’s subtree using Searchable#xpath and Searchable#css

#add_class(names) ⇒ Node

Ensure HTML CSS classes are present on a Node. Any CSS classes in names that already exist in the Node‘s class attribute are not added. Note that any existing duplicates in the class attribute are not removed. Compare with #append_class.

This is a convenience function and is equivalent to:

node.kwattr_add("class", names)

Examples:

Ensure that a Node has CSS class “section”

node                      # => <div></div>
node.add_class("section") # => <div class="section"></div>
node.add_class("section") # => <div class="section"></div> # duplicate not added

Ensure that a Node has CSS classes “section” and “header”, via a String argument.

node                             # => <div class="section section"></div>
node.add_class("section header") # => <div class="section section header"></div>
# Note that the CSS class "section" is not added because it is already present.
# Note also that the pre-existing duplicate CSS class "section" is not removed.

Ensure that a Node has CSS classes “section” and “header”, via an Array argument.

node                                  # => <div></div>
node.add_class(["section", "header"]) # => <div class="section header"></div>

Parameters:

  • names (String, Array<String>)

    CSS class names to be added to the Node’s class attribute. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited names, or an Array of String names. Any class names already present will not be added. Any class names not present will be added. If no class attribute exists, one is created.

Returns:

  • (Node)

    Returns self for ease of chaining method calls.

#add_namespace_definition(prefix, href) ⇒ Object Also known as: add_namespace

Adds a namespace definition with prefix using href value. The result is as if parsed XML for this node had included an attribute ‘xmlns:prefix=value’. A default namespace for this node (“xmlns=”) can be added by passing ‘nil’ for prefix. Namespaces added this way will not show up in #attributes, but they will be included as an xmlns attribute when the node is serialized to XML.

Append “section” to a Node‘s CSS class attriubute

node                         # => <div></div>
node.append_class("section") # => <div class="section"></div>
node.append_class("section") # => <div class="section section"></div> # duplicate added!

node.append_class("section header") # => <div class="section section section header"></div>
# Note that the CSS class "section" is appended even though it is already present.

Append “section” and “header” to a Node‘s CSS class attribute, via an Array argument.

node                                     # => <div></div>

#classesArray<String>

Get the CSS class names of a Node.

This is a convenience function and is equivalent to:

node.kwattr_values("class")

Examples:

node         # => <div class="section title header"></div>
node.classes # => ["section", "title", "header"]

Returns:

  • (Array<String>)

    The CSS classes present in the Node’s class attribute. If the attribute is empty or non-existent, the return value is an empty array.

#kwattr_add(attribute_name, keywords) ⇒ Node

Ensure that values are present in a keyword attribute.

Any values in keywords that already exist in the Node‘s attribute values are not added. Note that any existing duplicates in the attribute values are not removed. Compare with #kwattr_append.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the HTML class attribute used to contain CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance [‘rel`](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel).

Examples:

Ensure that a Node has “nofollow” in its rel attribute.

node                               # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_add("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_add("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow"></a> # duplicate not added

Ensure that a Node has “nofollow” and “noreferrer” in its rel attribute, via a String argument.

node                                          # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_add("rel", "nofollow noreferrer") # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow noreferrer"></a>
# Note that "nofollow" is not added because it is already present.
# Note also that the pre-existing duplicate "nofollow" is not removed.

Ensure that a Node has “nofollow” and “noreferrer” in its rel attribute, via an Array argument.

node                                               # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_add("rel", ["nofollow", "noreferrer"]) # => <a rel="nofollow noreferrer"></a>

Parameters:

  • attribute_name (String)

    The name of the keyword attribute to be modified.

  • keywords (String, Array<String>)

    Keywords to be added to the attribute named attribute_name. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited values, or an Array of String values. Any values already present will not be added. Any values not present will be added. If the named attribute does not exist, it is created.

Returns:

  • (Node)

    Returns self for ease of chaining method calls.

#kwattr_append(attribute_name, keywords) ⇒ Node

Add keywords to a Node’s keyword attribute, regardless of duplication. Compare with #kwattr_add.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the HTML class attribute used to contain CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance [‘rel`](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel).

Examples:

Append “nofollow” to the rel attribute.

node                                  # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow"></a> # duplicate added!

Append “nofollow” and “noreferrer” to the rel attribute, via a String argument.

node                                             # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", "nofollow noreferrer") # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow noreferrer"></a>
# Note that "nofollow" is appended even though it is already present.

Append “nofollow” and “noreferrer” to the rel attribute, via an Array argument.

node                                                  # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", ["nofollow", "noreferrer"]) # => <a rel="nofollow noreferrer"></a>

Parameters:

  • attribute_name (String)

    The name of the keyword attribute to be modified.

  • keywords (String, Array<String>)

    Keywords to be added to the attribute named attribute_name. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited values, or an Array of String values. All values passed in will be appended to the named attribute even if they are already present in the attribute. If the named attribute does not exist, it is created.

Returns:

  • (Node)

    Returns self for ease of chaining method calls.

#kwattr_remove(attribute_name, keywords) ⇒ Node

Remove keywords from a keyword attribute. Any matching keywords that exist in the named attribute are removed, including any multiple entries.

If no keywords remain after this operation, or if keywords is nil, the attribute is deleted from the node.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the HTML class attribute used to contain CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance [‘rel`](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel).

node.kwattr_remove("rel", "nofollow")   # => <a rel="noreferrer">link</a>
node.kwattr_remove("rel", "noreferrer") # => <a>link</a> # attribute is deleted when empty

Parameters:

  • attribute_name (String)

    The name of the keyword attribute to be modified.

  • keywords (String, Array<String>)

    Keywords to be removed from the attribute named attribute_name. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited values, or an Array of String values. Any keywords present in the named attribute will be removed. If no keywords remain, or if keywords is nil, the attribute is deleted.

#kwattr_values(attribute_name) ⇒ Array<String>

Retrieve values from a keyword attribute of a Node.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the HTML class attribute used to contain CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance [‘rel`](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Attributes/rel).

Examples:

node                      # => <a rel="nofollow noopener external">link</a>
node.kwattr_values("rel") # => ["nofollow", "noopener", "external"]

Parameters:

  • attribute_name (String)

    The name of the keyword attribute to be inspected.

Returns:

  • (Array<String>)

    The values present in the Node’s attribute_name attribute. If the attribute is empty or non-existent, the return value is an empty array.

Since:

  • v1.11.0

#namespacesObject

Returns a Hash of {prefix => value} for all namespaces on this node and its ancestors.

This method returns the same namespaces as #namespace_scopes.

Returns namespaces in scope for self – those defined on self element directly or any ancestor node – as a Hash of attribute-name/value pairs. Note that the keys in this hash XML attributes that would be used to define this namespace, such as “xmlns:prefix”, not just the prefix. Default namespace set on self will be included with key “xmlns”. However, default namespaces set on ancestor will NOT be, even if self has no explicit default namespace.

#remove_class(names = nil) ⇒ Node

Remove HTML CSS classes from a Node. Any CSS classes in names that exist in the Node‘s class attribute are removed, including any multiple entries.

If no CSS classes remain after this operation, or if names is nil, the class attribute is deleted from the node.

This is a convenience function and is equivalent to:

node.kwattr_remove("class", names)

Examples:

node                         # => <div class="section header"></div>
node.remove_class("section") # => <div class="header"></div>
node.remove_class("header")  # => <div></div> # attribute is deleted when empty

Parameters:

  • names (String, Array<String>) (defaults to: nil)

    CSS class names to be removed from the Node’s class attribute. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited names, or an Array of String names. Any class names already present will be removed. If no CSS classes remain, the class attribute is deleted.

Returns:

  • (Node)

    Returns self for ease of chaining method calls.

#serialize(*args, &block) ⇒ Object

Serialize Node using options. Save options can also be set using a block. See SaveOptions.

These two statements are equivalent:

node.serialize(:encoding => 'UTF-8', :save_with => FORMAT | AS_XML)

or

node.serialize(:encoding => 'UTF-8') do |config|
  config.format.as_xml
end

#write_to(io, *options) {|config| ... } ⇒ Object

Write Node to io with options. options modify the output of this method. Valid options are:

  • :encoding for changing the encoding

  • :indent_text the indentation text, defaults to one space

  • :indent the number of :indent_text to use, defaults to 2

  • :save_with a combination of SaveOptions constants.

To save with UTF-8 indented twice:

node.write_to(io, :encoding => 'UTF-8', :indent => 2)

To save indented with two dashes:

node.write_to(io, :indent_text => '-', :indent => 2)

Yields:

  • (config)
