celerity_parser

DESCRIPTION:

A very thin wrapper around HtmlUnit’s HTML parser to allow xpath searches of HTML documents for JRuby. At the moment there’s not much here. I don’t know yet whether it’s worth expanding the API to a full nokogiri/hpricot-style implementation. What’s here works for what I need for now.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Reuses HtmlUnit’s parser as wrapped by celerity to provide a stable HTML

• parsing capability.

SYNOPSIS:

Basic use:

root_node = CelerityParser.parse(html_content)
found_elements = root_node.search("//html/head/title")
found_elements.first.text # => "Html page title"

REQUIREMENTS:

$ jruby -S gem install jarib-celerity --source=http://gems.github.com

INSTALL:

$ jruby -S gem install celerity_parser --source=http://gems.github.com
