Nokogiri::XML::Node methods examples

I faced too many obstructions to understand the
Nokogiri::XML::Node#methods.Thus I shared some of my practice
examples,so that future people don't need fall in same trouble.

···

#=================================================================================
#Here I will discuss several Nokogiri::XML::Node#methods as in the
documentation
#=================================================================================

#===================================================================================
# Day - I :

att.each {|k,v| node.set_attribute(k,v)}

# => [["href", Nokogiri::XML::Attr, "www.example.com"],
# ["id", Nokogiri::XML::Attr, "1425"],

Hash[node.keys.zip(node.values)]
