How get a node whose title is separated by a colon?

[thechinkysight]

I have little to no experience with xml so it's a little bit confusing for me to get working with it. My question is that I have a xml like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0" xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app" xmlns:opensearch="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:opds="http://opds-spec.org/2010/catalog" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xml:lang="en" xmlns:odl="http://opds-spec.org/odl" xmlns:schema="http://schema.org">

  <link rel="start" type="application/atom+xml;profile=opds-catalog;kind=navigation" title="Home" href="https://catalog.feedbooks.com/catalog/index.atom"/>
  <link rel="search" href="https://catalog.feedbooks.com/opensearch.xml" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" title="Search on Feedbooks"/>

<opensearch:totalResults>0</opensearch:totalResults>
<opensearch:itemsPerPage>50</opensearch:itemsPerPage>
<opensearch:startIndex>1</opensearch:startIndex>
</feed>

from which I need to get the values of :

<opensearch:totalResults>0</opensearch:totalResults>
<opensearch:itemsPerPage>50</opensearch:itemsPerPage>
<opensearch:startIndex>1</opensearch:startIndex>

I tried doing like this:

XmlElement totalResult = parsedXml.getElement('opensearch:totalResults');

String totalResultInString = totalResult.text; 

But the totalResult was null, so I am here to seek help 🙏

I guess parsedXml is the XmlDocument? If so, the elements of this node are the <?xml ... and <feed xmlns ... nodes, which obviously do not match the element name you are searching for. Use parsedXml.rootElement to get the root element of your DOM tree (<feed xmlns ...); then you can ask that one for the values you're after:

XmlElement totalResult = parsedXml.rootElement.getElement('opensearch:totalResults');
