Rails - Mar 2006 - Relatively easy HTML/XML parsing utilities?

Anyone know of any Ruby modules which can be used to parse an HTML page 
?

Thanks,
Wes

Sure, try the net/http module.  You can see a very brief demonstration
it''s use over at my blog.

I have the feeling the OP is looking for something like html-parser,
available on the RAA.

	For this your best bet is probably RubyfulSoup. Its pretty liberal  
with malformed html.

Dan,

You''d be right.  I''m not looking to make requests as much as I
am
looking to postprocess an already fetched page.

What is the RAA?

Ezra,

Thanks.  Searching semantics easier than XPath?  We''ll see....I will 
take a look at it.

The RAA (Ruby Application Archive) is a central listing of a big chunk
of freely available, 3rd party Ruby libraries.  Note that it''s not a
code repository - most people these days put their actual source on
RubyForge (http://www.rubyforge.org) or SourceForge (or elsewhere).
Also note that not everyone lists their stuff on the RAA, so a Google
search can still be worthwhile.

Regards,

Dan
