Help with parsing XML document using 'Reader' and Nokogiri

Question

Hi. I am a newbie when it comes to using Nokogirie reader to parse an xml file. Here is the xml file I want to parse and sample code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<inventory>
  <tire name="super slick racing tire" />
  <tire name="all weather tire" />
</inventory>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'

io = File.open('test.xml', 'r')
reader = Nokogiri::XML::Reader(io)

reader.each do |node|

# node is an instance of Nokogiri::XML::Readerruby
puts node.name

end

The following is the error message I get:

pcs$ ruby1.9 TestNok.rb
WARNING: Nokogiri was built against LibXML version 2.6.32, but has dynamically loaded 2.7.5

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The code that you pasted works on my machine:

jablan@jablan-hp:~/dev$ ruby testxml.rb 
inventory
#text
tire
#text
tire
#text
inventory
jablan@jablan-hp:~/dev$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.1p243 (2009-07-16 revision 24175) [i686-linux]
jablan@jablan-hp:~/dev$ gem list | grep nokogiri
nokogiri (1.4.0)

Answer 2

Seems be the reader parser duplicated data. inventory tire tire inventory

It must be:

inventory tire
