Setup Mac OS X

2 ways to extract elements from within XML namespaces using Nokogiri
When trying to select elemenets in the default namespace, e.g. "xmlns= http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom", try the following two ways. Note the xmlns=" attribute on entry element:

Nokogiri::XML(@xml_string).xpath("//author/name").each do |node|
    puts node
  end


1. Define a namespace context for your XPath expression and point your XPath steps to match elements in that namespace. Define a namespace-to-prefix mapping and use this prefix (a) in the XPath expression.
