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. Last commit: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:04:52 +0000

scRUBYt! is an easy to learn and use, yet powerful and effective web scraping framework. It's most interesting part is a Web-scraping DSL built on HPricot and WWW::Mechanize, which allows to navigate to the page of interest, then extract and query data records with a few lines of code. It is hard to describe scRUBYt! in a few sentences - you have to see it for yourself! Last commit: Mon, 25 May 2009 17:07:26 +0000

The Libxml-Ruby project provides Ruby language bindings for the GNOME Libxml2 XML toolkit. It is free software, released under the MIT License. Libxml-ruby's primary advantage over REXML is performance - if speed is your need, these are good libraries to consider, as demonstrated by the informal benchmark below.
