Parse XML document in Ruby

Question

I'm using REXML library.

<foo>
  <baa>value<baa>
<foo>

I want to get value belongs to baa.

How to code it ?

Answer 1

try this

require 'rexml/document'

doc = REXML::Document.new File.new('mydoc.xml')

doc.elements('*/foo/baa') { |element| puts element.get_text }

I prefer Nokogiri and Hpricot gems myself. You can try them if you want.
