Overview

Nokogiri::XML::Document is the main entry point for dealing with XML documents. The Document is created by parsing an XML document. See Nokogiri::XML::Document.parse() for more information on parsing.

For searching a Document, see Nokogiri::XML::Searchable#css and Nokogiri::XML::Searchable#xpath

#namespace_inheritance ⇒ Boolean

When true, reparented elements without a namespace will inherit their new parent’s namespace (if one exists). Defaults to false.

Examples:

Default behavior of namespace inheritance

xml = <<~EOF
        <root xmlns:foo="http://nokogiri.org/default_ns/test/foo">
          <foo:parent>
          </foo:parent>
        </root>
      EOF
doc = Nokogiri::XML(xml)
parent = doc.at_xpath("//foo:parent", "foo" => "http://nokogiri.org/default_ns/test/foo")
parent.add_child("<child></child>")
doc.to_xml
# => <?xml version="1.0"?>
#    <root xmlns:foo="http://nokogiri.org/default_ns/test/foo">
#      <foo:parent>
#        <child/>
#      </foo:parent>
#    </root>

Setting namespace inheritance to true

xml = <<~EOF
        <root xmlns:foo="http://nokogiri.org/default_ns/test/foo">
          <foo:parent>
          </foo:parent>
        </root>
      EOF
doc = Nokogiri::XML(xml)
doc.namespace_inheritance = true
parent = doc.at_xpath("//foo:parent", "foo" => "http://nokogiri.org/default_ns/test/foo")
parent.add_child("<child></child>")
doc.to_xml
# => <?xml version="1.0"?>
#    <root xmlns:foo="http://nokogiri.org/default_ns/test/foo">
#      <foo:parent>
#        <foo:child/>
#      </foo:parent>
#    </root>

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

.parse(string_or_io, url = nil, encoding = nil, options = ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XML) {|options| ... } ⇒ Object

Parse an XML file.

string_or_io may be a String, or any object that responds to read and close such as an IO, or StringIO.

url (optional) is the URI where this document is located.

encoding (optional) is the encoding that should be used when processing the document.

options (optional) is a configuration object that sets options during parsing, such as Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::RECOVER. See the Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions for more information.

block (optional) is passed a configuration object on which parse options may be set.

By default, Nokogiri treats documents as untrusted, and so does not attempt to load DTDs or access the network. See Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions for a complete list of options; and that module’s DEFAULT_XML constant for what’s set (and not set) by default.

Nokogiri.XML() is a convenience method which will call this method.

Yields:

  • (options)

.wrap(java_document) ⇒ Nokogiri::XML::Document

Note:

This method is only available when running JRuby.

Note:

The class Java::OrgW3cDom::Document is also accessible as org.w3c.dom.Document.

Create a Nokogiri::XML::Document using an existing Java DOM document object.

The returned Nokogiri::XML::Document shares the same underlying data structure as the Java object, so changes in one are reflected in the other.

Parameters:

  • java_document (Java::OrgW3cDom::Document)

Returns:

#canonicalize(mode = XML_C14N_1_0, inclusive_namespaces = nil, with_comments = false) ⇒ Object #canonicalize {|obj, parent| ... } ⇒ Object

Canonicalize a document and return the results. Takes an optional block that takes two parameters: the obj and that node’s parent. The obj will be either a Nokogiri::XML::Node, or a Nokogiri::XML::Namespace The block must return a non-nil, non-false value if the obj passed in should be included in the canonicalized document.

Overloads:

  • #canonicalize {|obj, parent| ... } ⇒ Object

#collect_namespaces ⇒ Object

Recursively get all namespaces from this node and its subtree and return them as a hash.

For example, given this document:

<root xmlns:foo="bar">
  <bar xmlns:hello="world" />
</root>

This method will return:

{ 'xmlns:foo' => 'bar', 'xmlns:hello' => 'world' }

WARNING: this method will clobber duplicate names in the keys. For example, given this document:

<root xmlns:foo="bar">
  <bar xmlns:foo="baz" />
</root>

The hash returned will look like this: { ‘xmlns:foo’ => ‘bar’ }

Non-prefixed default namespaces (as in “xmlns=”) are not included in the hash.

Note that this method does an xpath lookup for nodes with namespaces, and as a result the order may be dependent on the implementation of the underlying XML library.

#create_element(name, *contents_or_attrs) {|node| ... } ⇒ Nokogiri::XML::Element

Create a new Element with name sharing GC lifecycle with the document, optionally setting contents or attributes.

Arguments may be passed to initialize the element:

  • a Hash argument will be used to set attributes

  • a non-Hash object that responds to #to_s will be used to set the new node’s contents

A block may be passed to mutate the node.

Examples:

An empty element without attributes

doc.create_element("div")
# => <div></div>

An element with contents

doc.create_element("div", "contents")
# => <div>contents</div>

An element with attributes

doc.create_element("div", {"class" => "container"})
# => <div class='container'></div>

An element with contents and attributes

doc.create_element("div", "contents", {"class" => "container"})
# => <div class='container'>contents</div>

Passing a block to mutate the element

doc.create_element("div") { |node| node["class"] = "blue" if before_noon? }

Parameters:

  • name (String)
  • contents_or_attrs (#to_s, Hash)

Yield Parameters:

#create_entity(name, type, external_id, system_id, content) ⇒ Object

Create a new entity named name.

type is an integer representing the type of entity to be created, and it defaults to Nokogiri::XML::EntityDecl::INTERNAL_GENERAL. See the constants on Nokogiri::XML::EntityDecl for more information.

external_id, system_id, and content set the External ID, System ID, and content respectively. All of these parameters are optional.

Remove all namespaces from all nodes in the document.

This could be useful for developers who either don’t understand namespaces or don’t care about them.

The following example shows a use case, and you can decide for yourself whether this is a good thing or not:

doc = Nokogiri::XML <<-EOXML
   <root>
     <car xmlns:part="http://general-motors.com/">
       <part:tire>Michelin Model XGV</part:tire>
     </car>
     <bicycle xmlns:part="http://schwinn.com/">
       <part:tire>I'm a bicycle tire!</part:tire>
     </bicycle>
   </root>
   EOXML

doc.xpath("//tire").to_s # => ""
doc.xpath("//part:tire", "part" => "http://general-motors.com/").to_s # => "<part:tire>Michelin Model XGV</part:tire>"
doc.xpath("//part:tire", "part" => "http://schwinn.com/").to_s # => "<part:tire>I'm a bicycle tire!</part:tire>"

doc.remove_namespaces!

doc.xpath("//tire").to_s # => "<tire>Michelin Model XGV</tire><tire>I'm a bicycle tire!</tire>"
doc.xpath("//part:tire", "part" => "http://general-motors.com/").to_s # => ""
doc.xpath("//part:tire", "part" => "http://schwinn.com/").to_s # => ""

#slop! ⇒ Object

Explore a document with shortcut methods. See Nokogiri::Slop for details.

Note that any nodes that have been instantiated before #slop! is called will not be decorated with sloppy behavior. So, if you’re in irb, the preferred idiom is:

irb> doc = Nokogiri::Slop my_markup

and not

irb> doc = Nokogiri::HTML my_markup
... followed by irb's implicit inspect (and therefore instantiation of every node) ...
irb> doc.slop!
... which does absolutely nothing.

#to_java ⇒ Java::OrgW3cDom::Document

Note:

This method is only available when running JRuby.

Note:

The class Java::OrgW3cDom::Document is also accessible as org.w3c.dom.Document.

Returns the underlying Java DOM document object for the Nokogiri::XML::Document.

The returned Java object shares the same underlying data structure as the Nokogiri::XML::Document, so changes in one are reflected in the other.

Returns:

  • (Java::OrgW3cDom::Document)
