Problem getting Nokogiri to properly parse file containing CDATA wrapped Base64 encoded images.

[JD Hendrickson]

I am using Nokogiri to parse XML files that contain Base64 encoded images.  The images are wrapped in CDATA tags.  When I run an xpath query against the document using an XPATH tool (using pathology on my Mac) I get the correct and expected number of nodes.  However, using Nokogiri I get a significantly decreased result (expecting 203 and only getting 85).  If I remove the Base64 data, the correct number of nodes are found by Nokogiri.

As far as I can tell, Nokogiri should not be popping on the Base64 encoded strings, but it definitely does appear to be the case.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,

JD

How large are your XML files?

Sorry for the late reply.

libxml2 has limits on the length and depth of the tree it will parse unless you opt out of those limits by using the `huge` parse option.

You can learn more about how to use parse options here: http://www.nokogiri.org/tutorials/parsing_an_html_xml_document.html

HTH,
