How to get first level children for xml in nokogiri

[Rohit Dumbre]

I am trying to parse the pom file using Nokogiri and I want to get first level of child nodes.

My pom file looks something like this

<project xmlns="some.maven.link">
   <parent>
     <groupId>parent.jar</groupId>
     <artifactId>parent-jar</artifactId>  
   </parent>         
   <groupId>child.jar</groupId>
   <artifactId>child-jar</artifactId>
 </project>

I am trying to fetch the artifactId "child-jar but the xpath that I am using possibly is incorrect and its fetching me parent.jar as the first occurence.

This is my ruby code

@pom = Nokogiri::XML(File.open(file_path))
p @pom.xpath("/project/artifactId", project"=>"http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0")[0].text

I can access the second element but that just would be a hack.

require 'nokogiri'

doc = <<-EOX

<project xmlns="some.maven.link">

   <parent>

     <groupId>parent.jar</groupId>

     <artifactId>parent-jar</artifactId>  

   </parent>         

   <groupId>child.jar</groupId>

   <artifactId>child-jar</artifactId>

 </project>

EOX

pom = Nokogiri::XML doc

puts pom.xpath("/xmlns:project/xmlns:artifactId", "xmlns" => "some.maven.link")

# => "child-jar"
