It is * usually accessed via the XML::Document#find or * XML::Node#find methods. For example: * * document.find('/foo', namespaces) -> XML::XPath::Object * * The optional namespaces parameter can be a string, array or * hash table. * * document.find('/foo', 'xlink:http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink') * document.find('/foo', ['xlink:http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink', * 'xi:http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude') * document.find('/foo', 'xlink' => 'http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink', * 'xi' => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude') * * * === Working With Default Namespaces * * Finding namespaced elements and attributes can be tricky. * Lets work through an example of a document with a default * namespace: * * * * Phil Bogle's Contacts * * * To find nodes you must define the atom namespace for * libxml. One way to do this is: * * node = doc.find('atom:title', 'atom:http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom') * * Alternatively, you can register the default namespace like this: * * doc.root.register_default_namespace('atom') * node = doc.find('atom:title') * * === More Complex Namespace Examples * * Lets work through some more complex examples using the * following xml document: * * * * * * * * * * * # Since the soap namespace is defined on the root * # node we can directly use it. * doc.find('/soap:Envelope') * * # Since the ns1 namespace is not defined on the root node * # we have to first register it with the xpath engine. * doc.find('//ns1:IdAndName', * 'ns1:http://domain.somewhere.com') * * # Since the getManufacturerNamesResponse element uses a default * # namespace we first have to give it a prefix and register * # it with the xpath engine. * doc.find('//ns:getManufacturerNamesResponse', * 'ns:http://services.somewhere.com') * * # Here is an example showing a complex namespace aware * # xpath expression. * doc.find('/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns0:getManufacturerNamesResponse/ns0:IDAndNameList/ns1:IdAndName', ['ns0:http://services.somewhere.com', 'ns1:http://domain.somewhere.com']) */ VALUE mXPath; // Rdoc needs to know #ifdef RDOC_NEVER_DEFINED mLibXML = rb_define_module("LibXML"); mXML = rb_define_module_under(mLibXML, "XML"); #endif void ruby_init_xml_xpath(void) { mXPath = rb_define_module_under(mXML, "XPath"); rb_define_const(mXPath, "UNDEFINED", INT2NUM(XPATH_UNDEFINED)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "NODESET", INT2NUM(XPATH_NODESET)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "BOOLEAN", INT2NUM(XPATH_BOOLEAN)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "NUMBER", INT2NUM(XPATH_NUMBER)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "STRING", INT2NUM(XPATH_STRING)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "POINT", INT2NUM(XPATH_POINT)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "RANGE", INT2NUM(XPATH_RANGE)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "LOCATIONSET", INT2NUM(XPATH_LOCATIONSET)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "USERS", INT2NUM(XPATH_USERS)); rb_define_const(mXPath, "XSLT_TREE", INT2NUM(XPATH_XSLT_TREE)); ruby_init_xml_xpath_object(); }
