Class: Nokogiri::XML::Node

Overview

Node is the primary API you’ll use to interact with your Document.

Attributes

A Node may be treated similarly to a hash with regard to attributes. For example:

node = Nokogiri::XML::DocumentFragment.parse("<a href='#foo' id='link'>link</a>").at_css("a")
node.to_html # => "<a href=\"#foo\" id=\"link\">link</a>"
node['href'] # => "#foo"
node.keys # => ["href", "id"]
node.values # => ["#foo", "link"]
node['class'] = 'green' # => "green"
node.to_html # => "<a href=\"#foo\" id=\"link\" class=\"green\">link</a>"

See the method group entitled Node@Working+With+Node+Attributes for the full set of methods.

Navigation

Node also has methods that let you move around your tree:

#parent, #children, #next, #previous

Navigate up, down, or through siblings.

See the method group entitled Node@Traversing+Document+Structure for the full set of methods.

Serialization

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

These methods will all **emit plaintext**, meaning that entities will be replaced (e.g., < will be replaced with <), meaning that any sanitizing will likely be un-done in the output.

#to_s, #to_xml, #to_html, #inner_html

These methods will all **emit properly-escaped markup**, meaning that it’s suitable for consumption by browsers, parsers, etc.

See the method group entitled Node@Serialization+and+Generating+Output for the full set of methods.

Searching

You may search this node’s subtree using methods like #xpath and #css.

See the method group entitled Node@Searching+via+XPath+or+CSS+Queries for the full set of methods.

#new(name, document) ⇒ Node #new(name, document) {|node| ... } ⇒ Node

Create a new node with #name that belongs to #document.

If you intend to add a node to a document tree, it’s likely that you will prefer one of the Node methods like #add_child, #add_next_sibling, #replace, etc. which will both create an element (or subtree) and place it in the document tree.

Another alternative, if you are concerned about performance, is Document#create_element which accepts additional arguments for contents or attributes but (like this method) avoids parsing markup.

Parameters
  • #name (String)

  • #document (Nokogiri::XML::Document) The document to which the the returned node will belong.

Yields

Node

Returns

#content() → String) (rw) #inner_text() → String) #text() → String) #to_str() → String) ⇒ ?
Also known as: #value, #to_s, #inner_text, #text, #to_str

Returns

Contents of all the text nodes in this node’s subtree, concatenated together into a single String.

⚠ Note that entities will always be expanded in the returned String.

See related: #inner_html

Example of how entities are handled:

Note that &lt; becomes < in the returned String.

doc = Nokogiri::XML.fragment("<child>a &lt; b</child>")
doc.at_css("child").content
# => "a < b"

Example of how a subtree is handled:

Note that the <span> tags are omitted and only the text node contents are returned, concatenated into a single string.

doc = Nokogiri::XML.fragment("<child><span>first</span> <span>second</span></child>")
doc.at_css("child").content
# => "first second"

    VALUE rval = NOKOGIRI_STR_NEW2(content);
    xmlFree(content);
    return rval;
  }
  return Qnil;
}

#content=(input) (rw)

Set the content of this node to input.

Parameters
  • input (String) The new content for this node. Input is considered to be raw content, and so will be entity-escaped in the final DOM string.

Example

Note how entities are handled:

doc = Nokogiri::HTML::Document.parse(<<~HTML)
  <html>
    <body>
      <div id="first">asdf</div>
      <div id="second">asdf</div>
HTML

text_node = doc.at_css("div#first").children.first
div_node = doc.at_css("div#second")

value = "You &amp; Me"

text_node.content = value
div_node.content = value

doc.css("div").to_html
# => "<div id=\"first\">You &amp;amp; Me</div>
#     <div id=\"second\">You &amp;amp; Me</div>"

For content that is already entity-escaped, use CGI.unescapeHTML to decode it:

text_node.content = CGI::unescapeHTML(value)
div_node.content = CGI::unescapeHTML(value)

doc.css("div").to_html
# => "<div id=\"first\">You &amp; Me</div>
#     <div id=\"second\">You &amp; Me</div>"

}

#default_namespace=(url) (writeonly)

Adds a default namespace supplied as a string url href, to self. The consequence is as an xmlns attribute with supplied argument were present in parsed ::Nokogiri::XML. A default namespace set with this method will now show up in #attributes, but when this node is serialized to ::Nokogiri::XML an “xmlns” attribute will appear. See also #namespace and #namespace=

end

#inner_html=(node_or_tags) (rw)

Set the content for this Node to node_or_tags.

node_or_tags can be a Node, a DocumentFragment, or a String containing markup.

⚠ Please note that despite the name, this method will not always parse a String argument as ::Nokogiri::HTML. A String argument will be parsed with the DocumentFragment parser related to this node’s document.

For example, if the document is an ::Nokogiri::HTML4::Document then the string will be parsed as ::Nokogiri::HTML4 using HTML4::DocumentFragment; but if the document is an Document then it will parse the string as ::Nokogiri::XML using DocumentFragment.

#line() → Integer) (rw)

Returns

The line number of this Node.


⚠ The CRuby and JRuby implementations differ in important ways!

Semantic differences:

  • The CRuby method reflects the node’s line number in the parsed string

  • The JRuby method reflects the node’s line number in the final DOM structure after corrections have been applied

Performance differences:

  • The CRuby method is O(1) (constant time)

  • The JRuby method is O(n) (linear time, where n is the number of nodes before/above the element in the DOM)

If you’d like to help improve the JRuby implementation, please review these issues and reach out to the maintainers:

end

#native_content=(input) (writeonly)

Set the content of this node to input.

Parameters
  • input (String) The new content for this node.

⚠ This method behaves differently depending on the node type. For Text, CDATA, Comment, and ProcessingInstruction nodes, it treats the input as raw content, which means that the final DOM will contain the entity-escaped version of the input (see example below). For Element and Attr nodes, it treats the input as parsed content and expects it to be valid markup that is already entity-escaped.

💡 Use #content= for a more consistent API across node types.

Example

Note the behavior differences of this method between Text and Element nodes:

doc = Nokogiri::HTML::Document.parse(<<~HTML)
  <html>
    <body>
      <div id="first">asdf</div>
      <div id="second">asdf</div>
HTML

text_node = doc.at_css("div#first").children.first
div_node = doc.at_css("div#second")

value = "You &amp; Me"

text_node.native_content = value
div_node.native_content = value

#[](name) → (String, nil) Also known as: #get_attribute, #attr

Fetch an attribute from this node.

⚠ Note that attributes with namespaces cannot be accessed with this method. To access namespaced attributes, use #attribute_with_ns.

Returns

(String, nil) value of the attribute #name, or nil if no matching attribute exists

Example

doc = Nokogiri::XML("<root><child size='large' class='big wide tall'/></root>")
child = doc.at_css("child")
child["size"] # => "large"
child["class"] # => "big wide tall"

Example: Namespaced attributes will not be returned.

⚠ Note namespaced attributes may be accessed with #attribute or #attribute_with_ns

doc = Nokogiri::XML(<<~EOF)
  <root xmlns:width='http://example.com/widths'>
    <child width:size='broad'/>
  </root>
EOF
doc.at_css("child")["size"] # => nil

# File 'lib/nokogiri/xml/node.rb', line 587

def [](name)
  get(name.to_s)
end

#[]=(name, value) → value) Also known as: #set_attribute

Update the attribute #name to value, or create the attribute if it does not exist.

⚠ Note that attributes with namespaces cannot be accessed with this method. To access namespaced attributes for update, use #attribute_with_ns. To add a namespaced attribute, see the example below.

Returns

value

Example

doc = Nokogiri::XML("<root><child/></root>")
child = doc.at_css("child")
child["size"] = "broad"
child.to_html
# => "<child size=\"broad\"></child>"

Example: Add a namespaced attribute.

#add_class(names) → self)

Ensure HTML ::Nokogiri::CSS classes are present on self. Any CSS classes in names that already exist in the “class” attribute are not added. Note that any existing duplicates in the “class” attribute are not removed. Compare with #append_class.

This is a convenience function and is equivalent to:

node.kwattr_add("class", names)

See related: #kwattr_add, #classes, #append_class, #remove_class

Parameters
  • names (String, Array<String>)

    CSS class names to be added to the Node’s “class” attribute. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited names, or an Array of String names. Any class names already present will not be added. Any class names not present will be added. If no “class” attribute exists, one is created.

Returns

self (Node) for ease of chaining method calls.

Example: Ensure that the node has ::Nokogiri::CSS class “section”

node                      # => <div></div>
node.add_class("section") # => <div class="section"></div>
node.add_class("section") # => <div class="section"></div> # duplicate not added

Example: Ensure that the node has ::Nokogiri::CSS classes “section” and “header”, via a String argument

Note that the ::Nokogiri::CSS class “section” is not added because it is already present. Note also that the pre-existing duplicate ::Nokogiri::CSS class “section” is not removed.

node                             # => <div class="section section"></div>

See related: #kwattr_append, #classes, #add_class, #remove_class

Parameters
  • names (String, Array<String>)

    CSS class names to be appended to the Node’s “class” attribute. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited names, or an Array of String names. All class names passed in will be appended to the “class” attribute even if they are already present in the attribute value. If no “class” attribute exists, one is created.

Returns

self (Node) for ease of chaining method calls.

Example: Append “section” to the node’s ::Nokogiri::CSS “class” attribute

#attribute(name) → Nokogiri::XML::Attr)

:category: Working With Node Attributes

Returns

Attribute (Nokogiri::XML::Attr) belonging to this node with name #name.

⚠ Note that attribute namespaces are ignored and only the simple (non-namespace-prefixed) name is used to find a matching attribute. In case of a simple name collision, only one of the matching attributes will be returned. In this case, you will need to use #attribute_with_ns.

Example:

doc = Nokogiri::XML("<root><child size='large' class='big wide tall'/></root>")

#attributes() → Hash<String ⇒ Nokogiri::XML::Attr>)

Fetch this node’s attributes.

⚠ Because the keys do not include any namespace information for the attribute, in case of a simple name collision, not all attributes will be returned. In this case, you will need to use #attribute_nodes.

Returns

Hash containing attributes belonging to self. The hash keys are String attribute names (without the namespace), and the hash values are Nokogiri::XML::Attr.

Example with no namespaces:

#child() → Nokogiri::XML::Node)

:category: Traversing Document Structure

Returns

First of this node’s children, or nil if there are no children

This is a convenience method and is equivalent to:

node.children.first

#classes() → Array<String>)

Fetch CSS class names of a Node.

This is a convenience function and is equivalent to:

node.kwattr_values("class")

See related: #kwattr_values, #add_class, #append_class, #remove_class

Returns

The CSS classes (Array of String) present in the Node’s “class” attribute. If the attribute is empty or non-existent, the return value is an empty array.

Example

node         # => <div class="section title header"></div>
node.classes # => ["section", "title", "header"]

#kwattr_add(attribute_name, keywords) → self)

Ensure that values are present in a keyword attribute.

Any values in keywords that already exist in the Node’s attribute values are not added. Note that any existing duplicates in the attribute values are not removed. Compare with #kwattr_append.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the ::Nokogiri::HTML “class” attribute used to contain ::Nokogiri::CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance the “rel” attribute.

See also #add_class, #kwattr_values, #kwattr_append, #kwattr_remove

Parameters
  • attribute_name (String) The name of the keyword attribute to be modified.

  • keywords (String, Array<String>) Keywords to be added to the attribute named attribute_name. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited values, or an Array of String values. Any values already present will not be added. Any values not present will be added. If the named attribute does not exist, it is created.

Returns

self (Nokogiri::XML::Node) for ease of chaining method calls.

Example: Ensure that a Node has “nofollow” in its rel attribute.

Note that duplicates are not added.

node                               # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_add("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_add("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>

Example: Ensure that a Node has “nofollow” and “noreferrer” in its rel attribute, via a String argument.

Note that "nofollow" is not added because it is already present. Note also that the
pre-existing duplicate "nofollow" is not removed.

 node                                          # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow"></a>
 node.kwattr_add("rel", "nofollow noreferrer") # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow noreferrer"></a>

Example: Ensure that a Node has “nofollow” and “noreferrer” in its rel attribute, via an Array argument.

node                                               # => <a></a>

Add keywords to a Node’s keyword attribute, regardless of duplication. Compare with #kwattr_add.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the ::Nokogiri::HTML “class” attribute used to contain ::Nokogiri::CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance the “rel” attribute.

See also #append_class, #kwattr_values, #kwattr_add, #kwattr_remove

Parameters
  • attribute_name (String) The name of the keyword attribute to be modified.

  • keywords (String, Array<String>) Keywords to be added to the attribute named attribute_name. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited values, or an Array of String values. All values passed in will be appended to the named attribute even if they are already present in the attribute. If the named attribute does not exist, it is created.

Returns

self (Node) for ease of chaining method calls.

Example: Append “nofollow” to the rel attribute.

Note that duplicates are added.

node                                  # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", "nofollow") # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow"></a>

Example: Append “nofollow” and “noreferrer” to the rel attribute, via a String argument.

Note that “nofollow” is appended even though it is already present.

node                                             # => <a rel="nofollow"></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", "nofollow noreferrer") # => <a rel="nofollow nofollow noreferrer"></a>

Example: Append “nofollow” and “noreferrer” to the rel attribute, via an Array argument.

node                                                  # => <a></a>
node.kwattr_append("rel", ["nofollow", "noreferrer"]) # => <a rel="nofollow noreferrer"></a>

  new_kws = (current_kws + keywords).join(" ")
  set_attribute(attribute_name, new_kws)
  self
end

#kwattr_remove(attribute_name, keywords) → self)

Remove keywords from a keyword attribute. Any matching keywords that exist in the named attribute are removed, including any multiple entries.

If no keywords remain after this operation, or if keywords is nil, the attribute is deleted from the node.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the ::Nokogiri::HTML “class” attribute used to contain ::Nokogiri::CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance the “rel” attribute.

See also #remove_class, #kwattr_values, #kwattr_add, #kwattr_append

Parameters
  • attribute_name (String) The name of the keyword attribute to be modified.

  • keywords (String, Array<String>) Keywords to be removed from the attribute named attribute_name. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited values, or an Array of String values. Any keywords present in the named attribute will be removed. If no keywords remain, or if keywords is nil, the attribute is deleted.

Returns

self (Node) for ease of chaining method calls.

Example:

Note that the rel attribute is deleted when empty.

node                                    # => <a rel="nofollow noreferrer">link</a>
node.kwattr_remove("rel", "nofollow")   # => <a rel="noreferrer">link</a>

#kwattr_values(attribute_name) → Array<String>)

Fetch values from a keyword attribute of a Node.

A “keyword attribute” is a node attribute that contains a set of space-delimited values. Perhaps the most familiar example of this is the ::Nokogiri::HTML “class” attribute used to contain ::Nokogiri::CSS classes. But other keyword attributes exist, for instance the “rel” attribute.

See also #classes, #kwattr_add, #kwattr_append, #kwattr_remove

Parameters
  • attribute_name (String) The name of the keyword attribute to be inspected.

Returns

(Array<String>) The values present in the Node’s attribute_name attribute. If the attribute is empty or non-existent, the return value is an empty array.

Example:

node                      # => <a rel="nofollow noopener external">link</a>
node.kwattr_values("rel") # => ["nofollow", "noopener", "external"]

#remove_class(css_classes) → self)

Remove HTML ::Nokogiri::CSS classes from this node. Any CSS class names in css_classes that exist in this node’s “class” attribute are removed, including any multiple entries.

If no ::Nokogiri::CSS classes remain after this operation, or if css_classes is nil, the “class” attribute is deleted from the node.

This is a convenience function and is equivalent to:

node.kwattr_remove("class", css_classes)

Also see #kwattr_remove, #classes, #add_class, #append_class

Parameters
  • css_classes (String, Array<String>)

    CSS class names to be removed from the Node’s “class” attribute. May be a string containing whitespace-delimited names, or an Array of String names. Any class names already present will be removed. If no CSS classes remain, the “class” attribute is deleted.

Returns

self (Nokogiri::XML::Node) for ease of chaining method calls.

Example: Deleting a ::Nokogiri::CSS class

Note that all instances of the class “section” are removed from the “class” attribute.

node                         # => <div class="section header section"></div>
node.remove_class("section") # => <div class="header"></div>

Example: Deleting the only remaining ::Nokogiri::CSS class

Note that the attribute is removed once there are no remaining classes.

node                         # => <div class="section"></div>
node.remove_class("section") # => <div></div>

Example: Deleting multiple ::Nokogiri::CSS classes

Note that the “class” attribute is deleted once it’s empty.

node                                    # => <div class="section header float"></div>

#serialize(*args, &block) Also known as: #to_xml

Serialize Node using options. Save options can also be set using a block.

See also Node::SaveOptions and Node@Serialization+and+Generating+Output.

These two statements are equivalent:

node.serialize(encoding: 'UTF-8', save_with: FORMAT | AS_XML)

or

#wrap(markup) ⇒ self #wrap(node) ⇒ self

Wrap this Node with the node parsed from markup or a dup of the node.

Parameters
  • markup (String) Markup that is parsed and used as the wrapper. This node’s parent, if it exists, is used as the context node for parsing; otherwise the associated document is used. If the parsed fragment has multiple roots, the first root node is used as the wrapper.

  • node (Nokogiri::XML::Node) An element that is ‘#dup`ed and used as the wrapper.

Returns

self, to support chaining.

Also see NodeSet#wrap

Example with a String argument:

doc = Nokogiri::HTML5(<<~HTML)
  <html><body>
    <a>asdf</a>
  </body></html>
HTML
doc.at_css("a").wrap("<div></div>")
doc.to_html
# => <html><head></head><body>
#      <div><a>asdf</a></div>
#    </body></html>

Example with a Node argument:

doc = Nokogiri::HTML5(<<~HTML)
  <html><body>
    <a>asdf</a>
  </body></html>
HTML
doc.at_css("a").wrap(doc.create_element("div"))

#write_to(io, *options)

Serialize this node or document to io.

Parameters
  • io (IO) An IO-like object to which the serialized content will be written.

  • options (Hash) See below

Options
  • :encoding (String or Encoding) specify the encoding of the output (defaults to document encoding)

  • :indent_text (String) the indentation text (defaults to " ")

  • :indent (Integer) the number of :indent_text to use (defaults to 2)

  • :save_with (Integer) a combination of Node::SaveOptions constants

To save with UTF-8 indented twice:

node.write_to(io, encoding: 'UTF-8', indent: 2)

To save indented with two dashes:

node.write_to(io, indent_text: '-', indent: 2)

Yields:

  • (config)
