DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

Nokogiri (鋸) is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser. Among Nokogiri’s many features is the ability to search documents via XPath or CSS3 selectors.

XML is like violence - if it doesn’t solve your problems, you are not using enough of it.

FEATURES:¶ ↑

• XPath support for document searching

• CSS3 selector support for document searching

• XML/HTML builder

Nokogiri parses and searches XML/HTML very quickly, and also has correctly implemented CSS3 selector support as well as XPath support.

Here is a speed test:
