Convert String to Nokogiri node

Question

Is it possible to convert a string looking like this : "<count>2</count>" in Nokogiri node <count>2</count> ? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes and it's quite straightforward, just do

Nokogiri::XML("<count>2</count>")

For instance:

pry(main)> Nokogiri::XML("<count>2</count>").children.first.to_s                                              
=> "<count>2</count>"
