FastXml

a simple fast xml library using libxml and libxslt with an hpricot-like api

Overview

FastXml:

 1) is not standalone, it *requires libxml* and *libxslt*
 2) attempts to provide the speediest xml parsing library available for ruby
 3) provides an hpricot-like syntax for xml parsing and xslt processing

Example

 doc = FastXml( open( 'test.xml ) )
 puts doc.root.name
 puts doc.root.content

 doc.root.children.each do |node|
   puts "%s => %s" % [ node.name, node.content ]
 end

 (doc/"/node").each { |node| puts node.inspect } #xpath search
 doc.search( "//node" ).each { |node| puts node.inspect }
