Parse options for passing to Nokogiri.XML or Nokogiri.HTML

Building combinations of parse options

You can build your own combinations of these parse options by using any of the following methods: Note: All examples attempt to set the RECOVER & NOENT options. All examples use Ruby 2 optional parameter syntax.

Ruby's bitwise operators

You can use the Ruby bitwise operators to set various combinations.

Nokogiri.XML('<content>Chapter 1</content', options: Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions.new((1 << 0) | (1 << 1)))

Method chaining

Every option has an equivalent method in lowercase. You can chain these methods together to set various combinations.

Nokogiri.XML('<content>Chapter 1</content', options: Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions.new.recover.noent)

Using Ruby Blocks

You can also setup parse combinations in the block passed to Nokogiri.XML or Nokogiri.HTML

Nokogiri.XML('<content>Chapter 1</content') {|config| config.recover.noent}

Removing particular parse options

You can also remove options from an instance of ParseOptions dynamically. Every option has an equivalent no{option} method in lowercase. You can call these methods on an instance of ParseOptions to remove the option. Note that this is not available for STRICT.

# Setting the RECOVER & NOENT options...
options = Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions.new.recover.noent
# later...
options.norecover # Removes the Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::RECOVER option
options.nonoent # Removes the Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::NOENT option
