XPath queries (or close variants) are also used in the process of Web Scraping while retreiving data from structured XHTML-compliant web pages, specially those with tabulated data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick XPath tutorial is available&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/edutechwiki.unige.ch\/en\/XPath_tutorial_-_basics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Provided XML Fragment and Task Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assume that you have been provided the fragment of XML, shown below. Your task is to write the XPath Selector for listing the popularity of the movies, in the same order as which they occur in the given XML. The Ruby code for handling input, output and document construction has already been provided. You only need to fill up the required blanks as indicated in the template code provided. This challenge is agnostic to language-specific knowledge and you do not require to know ruby &#8211; as only the XPath selector needs to be completed by you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-ast-global-color-5-color has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>&lt;collection shelf=\"Classics\">\r\n&lt;movie title=\"The Enemy\" shelf=\"A\">\r\n   &lt;type>War, Thriller&lt;\/type>\r\n   &lt;format>DVD&lt;\/format>\r\n   &lt;year>2001&lt;\/year>\r\n   &lt;rating>PG&lt;\/rating>\r\n   &lt;popularity>10&lt;\/popularity>\r\n   &lt;description>Talk about a war&lt;\/description>\r\n&lt;\/movie>\r\n&lt;movie title=\"Transformers\" shelf=\"B\">\r\n   &lt;type>Science Fiction&lt;\/type>\r\n   &lt;format>DVD&lt;\/format>\r\n   &lt;year>1980&lt;\/year>\r\n   &lt;rating>R&lt;\/rating>\r\n   &lt;popularity>7&lt;\/popularity>\r\n   &lt;description>Science Fiction&lt;\/description>\r\n&lt;\/movie>\r\n   &lt;movie title=\"Trigun\" shelf=\"B\">\r\n   &lt;type>Action&lt;\/type>\r\n   &lt;format>DVD&lt;\/format>\r\n   &lt;episodes>4&lt;\/episodes>\r\n   &lt;rating>PG&lt;\/rating>\r\n   &lt;popularity>10&lt;\/popularity>\r\n   &lt;description>Quite a bit of action!&lt;\/description>\r\n&lt;\/movie>\r\n&lt;movie title=\"Ishtar\" shelf=\"A\">\r\n   &lt;type>Comedy&lt;\/type>\r\n   &lt;format>VHS&lt;\/format>\r\n   &lt;rating>PG&lt;\/rating>\r\n   &lt;popularity>2&lt;\/popularity>\r\n   &lt;description>Boring&lt;\/description>\r\n&lt;\/movie>\r\n&lt;\/collection><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expected Output<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code has-ast-global-color-5-color has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-text-color has-background\"><code>10\r\n7\r\n10\r\n2<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Your code will also be run against a hidden test case, which is similar in schema and format to the XML fragment shown above &#8211; only some of the values in the fields will be changed.
