def parse(selector) # :nodoc:
  Parser.new.parse(selector)
end

.xpath_for(selector, options = {}) ⇒ Object

:call-seq:

xpath_for(selector) → String
xpath_for(selector [, prefix:] [, visitor:] [, ns:]) → String

Translate a CSS selector to the equivalent XPath query.

Parameters

  • selector (String) The CSS selector to be translated into XPath

  • prefix: (String)

    The XPath prefix for the query, see Nokogiri::XML::XPath for some options. Default is XML::XPath::GLOBAL_SEARCH_PREFIX.

  • visitor: (Nokogiri::CSS::XPathVisitor)

    The visitor class to use to transform the AST into XPath. Default is Nokogiri::CSS::XPathVisitor.new.

  • ns: (Hash<String ⇒ String>)

    The namespaces that are referenced in the query, if any. This is a hash where the keys are the namespace prefix and the values are the namespace URIs. Default is an empty Hash.

Returns

(String) The equivalent XPath query for selector

💡 Note that translated queries are cached for performance concerns.
