Accessing XML attributes with namespaces

Question

How one can access attributes with namespaces? My XML data are in a form

val d = 

<

Answer 1

You can always do

d match {
  case xml.Elem(prefix, label, attributes, scope, children@_*) =>
}

or in your case also match on xml.Attribute

d match {
  case xml.Elem(_, "Attachment", xml.Attribute("about", v, _), _, _*) => v
}

// Seq[scala.xml.Node] = #item_1

However, Attribute does not care about the prefix at all, so if you need that, you need to explicitly use PrefixedAttribute:

d match {
  case xml.Elem(_, "Attachment", xml.PrefixedAttribute("rdf", "about", v, _), _, _*) => v
}

There is a problem, however, when there are multiple attributes. Anyone knows how to fix this?
