              <child>
                <grandchild>Hello</grandchild>
              </child>

                <grandchild>World</grandchild>
              </child>
            </root>`;

const xmlDoc = libxmljs.parseXml(xml);

// Sets the global namespace of the document
extras.setNamespace(xmlDoc, 'namespace', 'http://www.my-namespace.org/');

const grandchildren = extras.find(xmlDoc, '//grandchild');

grandchildren.forEach((grandchild) => console.log(grandchild.text())); // Prints "Hello\nWorld"

console.log(extras.count(xmlDoc, '//grandchild')); // Prints "2"
