TagRemover (Nokogiri edition)
Tag remover let's you remove all elements of specified tags from extremely large XML documents without parsing or loading the whole thing in memory, useful for processing unreasonably large documents without making your server fall over.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'tag_remover_nokogiri'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install tag_remover_nokogiri
Usage
The following code will read XML from input_stream
, and write it out to output_stream
with all div
and img
elements removed.
require 'tag_remover'
TagRemover.process input_stream, output_stream, remove_tags: ['div', 'img']
