I'm not that familiar with Enlive, so I can't comment on the ease of that approach.
However, the way I'd personally do it is that I'd make use of Crouton and the zipper functions in clojure.zip and clojure.data.zip. A zipper is a functional way of navigating an immutable data structure. So first add Crouton and data.zip to your dependencies: [[crouton "0.1.2"] [org.clojure/data.zip "0.1.1"]] Then use Crouton to parse the body of the response from clj-http: (crouton.html/parse (:body response)) This will give you a data structure that's compatible with clojure.xml, and therefore compatible with the XML zipper functions (dzx/xml1-> (z/xml-zip parsed-html) dz/descendents (dzx/tag= "input") (dzx/attr= "name" "foo") In the above case I'm using the following namespace aliases: (require '[clojure.zip :as z] '[clojure.data.zip :as dz] '[clojure.data.zip.xml :as dzx]) It's been a while since I've needed to traverse X/HTML in Clojure though, so my code might be a little off. - James On 14 October 2015 at 22:53, Mike <m...@thefrederickhome.name> wrote: > Thanks James!
