I'm trying to parse a document with a namespace declared on a non-root element:
<root><example:foo xmlns:example="http://example.com/foo";>This is an exemplary foo!</example:foo></root> I can read this xml into an NSXMLDocument just fine, but the following XPath query on root returns a non-nil, but empty NSArray: NSXMLNode *rootNode = ...// create my root node somehow NSArray *exampleFooElements = [rootNode nodesForXPath:@"/root/example:foo" error:nil]; // exampleFooElements != nil && [exampleFooElements count] == 0 However, if I add the namespace declaration to the root element, everything is fine: <root xmlns:example="http://example.com/foo";><example:foo>This is an exemplary foo!</example:foo></root> NSXMLNode *rootNode = ...// create my root node somehow NSArray *exampleFooElements = [rootNode nodesForXPath:@"/root/example:foo" error:nil]; // exampleFooElements != nil && [exampleFooElements count] == 1 I can do this change programmatically, but I'd rather not have to modify the document. This namespace usage should be legal. Am I doing something wrong?
