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

You may search this node’s subtree using Node#xpath and Node#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.

#css(*rules) ⇒ Object

call-seq: css *rules, [namespace-bindings, custom-pseudo-class]

Search this node for CSS rules. rules must be one or more CSS selectors. For example:

node.css('title')
node.css('body h1.bold')
node.css('div + p.green', 'div#one')

A hash of namespace bindings may be appended. For example:

node.css('bike|tire', {'bike' => 'http://schwinn.com/'})

Custom CSS pseudo classes may also be defined. To define custom pseudo classes, create a class and implement the custom pseudo class you want defined. The first argument to the method will be the current matching NodeSet. Any other arguments are ones that you pass in. For example:

node.css('title:regex("\w+")', Class.new {
  def regex node_set, regex
    node_set.find_all { |node| node['some_attribute'] =~ /#{regex}/ }
  end
}.new)

Note that the CSS query string is case-sensitive with regards to your document type. That is, if you’re looking for “H1” in an HTML document, you’ll never find anything, since HTML tags will match only lowercase CSS queries. However, “H1” might be found in an XML document, where tags names are case-sensitive (e.g., “H1” is distinct from “h1”).

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.

#xpath(*paths) ⇒ Object

call-seq: xpath *paths, [namespace-bindings, variable-bindings, custom-handler-class]

Search this node for XPath paths. paths must be one or more XPath queries.

node.xpath('.//title')

A hash of namespace bindings may be appended. For example:

node.xpath('.//foo:name', {'foo' => 'http://example.org/'})
node.xpath('.//xmlns:name', node.root.namespaces)

A hash of variable bindings may also be appended to the namespace bindings. For example:

node.xpath('.//address[@domestic=$value]', nil, {:value => 'Yes'})

Custom XPath functions may also be defined. To define custom functions create a class and implement the function you want to define. The first argument to the method will be the current matching NodeSet. Any other arguments are ones that you pass in. Note that this class may appear anywhere in the argument list. For example:

node.xpath('.//title[regex(., "\w+")]', Class.new {
  def regex node_set, regex
    node_set.find_all { |node| node['some_attribute'] =~ /#{regex}/ }
