Module: MARC::MagicReader

Defined in:
lib/marc/xml_parsers.rb

Overview

The MagicReader will try to use the best available XML Parser at the time of initialization.

The order is currently:

* Nokogiri
* jrexml (JRuby only)
* rexml

With the idea that other parsers could be added as their modules are added. Realistically, this list should be limited to stream-based parsers. The magic should be used selectively, however. After all, one project’s definition of ‘best’ might not apply universally. It is arguable which is “best” on JRuby: Nokogiri or jrexml.
