looking for XML parsers in Ruby

Ravindra Kumar

Hi,

I am looking for a validating XML parser for ruby. I found that there
are libxml-ruby and ruby interface to expat available. Could someone
please tell me
which is the better in terms of performance and functionality? I am
looking for a parser that is stable and has good performance.

Regards,
Ravindra

I searched the archives and found this:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/11/09/rexml-processing-xml-in...

Maybe you just typed in the wrong thing to search for and missed this.

The OP said "validating XML parser". As I remember, REXML was not yet
that - when I last used it a while back. Also just checked the REXML
site that is linked to in the xml.com article URL you quote above;
unless REXML is now at some other site or the page is not updated, the
site seems to still show that it is not a validating parser.

Don't use REXML if performance is important to you. libxml-ruby is
10-100 times faster than REXML.

Thank you all for your responses. Actually I am aware of libxml-ruby. I
just wanted to know if there is any better validating parser for ruby
other than libxml. It would be great if someone could give a brief
comparison otherwise libxml-ruby is good enough for my purpose.
