Configure your project:
- Open project, select the target, under Build Settings, in Header Search Paths, add $(SDKROOT)/usr/include/libxml2
- Under Build Settings, in Import Paths, add $(SRCROOT)/Clibxml2 (Make sure this is the path to the Clibxml2 folder)

Usage

If you are using CocoaPods to integrate Ji. Import Ji first:
import Ji

Init with URL:

let jiDoc = Ji(htmlURL: URL(string: "http://www.apple.com/support")!)
let titleNode = jiDoc?.xPath("//head/title")?.first
print("title: \(String(describing: titleNode?.content))") // title: Optional("Official Apple Support")

Init with String: swift let xmlString = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><note><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body></note>" let jiDoc = Ji(xmlString: xmlString) let bodyNode = jiDoc?.rootNode?.firstChildWithName("body") print("body: \(String(describing: bodyNode?.content))") // body: Optional("Don
Init with Data: ```swift let googleIndexData = try? Data(contentsOf: URL(string: “http://www.google.com")!) if let googleIndexData = googleIndexData { let jiDoc = Ji(htmlData: googleIndexData)! let htmlNode = jiDoc.rootNode! print(“html tagName: (String(describing: htmlNode.tagName))”) // html tagName: Optional(“html”)

let aNodes = jiDoc.xPath(“//body//a”) if let firstANode = aNodes?.first {
```
  print("first a node tagName: \(String(describing: firstANode.name))") // first a node tagName: Optional("a")
  let href = firstANode["href"]
  print("first a node href: \(String(describing: href))") // first a node href: Optional("http://www.google.ca/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi")
```
} } else { print(“google.com is inaccessible”) }

let 戟文档 = 戟(htmlURL: URL(string: “https://cocoapods.org/pods/Ji")!) let attribution = 戟文档?.xPath(“//ul[@class=’attribution’]”)?.first print(“作者(Author): (String(describing: attribution?.content))”) // 作者(Author): Optional(“ByHonghao Zhang”)
