We use clojure data xml (the recent alphas), are you using that too?

Oh no, I'm using the stable org.clojure/data.xml "0.0.8" release. I'll try the alpha at lunchtime. Cheers.

That worked a treat, cheers. Now, I've just got to work out the round trip qname retrieval / setting as I want to do a similar string change in the xml, nothing more complex.

@U064B4L0K any recommendations on materials you found useful to understand zippers? Not looked into them at all

@U0DPX8ZQB I mainly used http://blog.korny.info/2014/03/08/xml-for-fun-and-profit.html

@U0DPX8ZQB The way I think about zippers is that they're about taking a data structure (e.g. {:foo {:bar 1}}) and adding a location (`[:foo]`). You can get the (value) at the current point (which would be {:bar 1}), and you can "move", so do things like (down) which would change your position to [:foo :bar] and (value) would be 1, or you could go (up) to [] and the value would be {:foo {:bar 1}}

@paulspendI don't know much about the namespacing system in clojure.data.xml, but that doesn't look like how we use it.

Ours looks more like ::gh/foobar, but I'm not certain 🙂

@U064B4L0K Oh, the API changed recently, so that's probably what you're running into.

Gotcha, I saw a sample on the readme with ‘{:xmlns/foo "http://www.w3.org/199’ but it was for xml, not emit-str opts!
