Oga is an XML/HTML parser written in Ruby. Oga aims to provide an easy to use
and high performance API for all your XML/HTML parsing needs. Oga requires
nothing other than Ruby, it does not depend on libxml and the likes.
nothing other than Ruby, it does not depend on libxml or other system libraries.
To achieve high performance Oga uses a C or Java extension depending on your
Ruby platform. Pure Ruby is sadly not fast enough to process large amounts of
text in reasonable time.
Oga uses a small native extension (C for MRI/Rubinius, Java for JRuby) to
speed up the process of lexing XML into tokens. Initial prototypes used a pure
Ruby setup but this proved to be too slow when consuming large input sizes.
