Method to parse HTML document in Ruby?

Question

like DOMDocument class in PHP, is there any class in RUBY (i.e the core RUBY), to parse and get node elements value from a HTML Document.

Answer 1

You should check out hpricot. It's exceedingly good. It's not 'core' ruby, but it's a commonly used gem.

Answer 2

There is no built-in HTML parser (yet), but some very good ones are available, in particular nokogiri.

Meta-answer: for common needs like these, I'd recommend checking out the Ruby Toolbox site. You'll notice that Nokogiri is the top recommendation for HTML parsers
