GPath evaluation problem for html with namespace

    XMLWordPrintableJSON

Details

    Description

      I am trying to parse HTML with XmlParser (see example below).

      I expect both expressions
      html.body
      and
      html.":body"
      will return the same value, since namespace prefix is empty.

      But the first one does not work (it rerurns empty list).

      Sorce code:

      import groovy.xml.*
def text = """
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <body>
        text
    </body>
</html>
"""
def html = new XmlParser().parseText(text)
println html.body  
println html.":body"

      Result:
      []
      [

      {http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}

      body[attributes={}; value=[text]]]
