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_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.

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

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.
