Open Source C XML Software

Nokogiri (鋸) makes it easy and painless to work with XML and HTML from Ruby. It provides a sensible, easy-to-understand API for reading, writing, modifying, and querying documents. It is fast and standards-compliant by relying on native parsers like libxml2 (C) and xerces (Java). Be secure-by-default by treating all documents as untrusted by default. Be a thin-as-reasonable layer on top of the underlying parsers, and don't attempt to fix behavioral differences between the parsers. "Native gems" contain pre-compiled libraries for a specific machine architecture. On supported platforms, this removes the need for compiling the C extension and the packaged libraries, or for system dependencies to exist. This results in much faster installation and more reliable installation, which as you probably know are the biggest headaches for Nokogiri users.

Paperboy RSS aims to be the most powerful open-source news aggregator. Paperboy RSS works as a collection of tools for parsing XML through a base program and formatting it with XSLT.

Paperboy WDM is a web development framework built around the concept of separating logic, content, and presentation without the complexities of SQL. It uses Paperboy RSS as a translation layer between content (in XML) and presentation.

A robust website scraping framework that uses XML, XPath, RegEx and scripting to consume, parse, normalize and traverse HTML based on a set of seed URLs. Scrape.NET is built using C#, TidyForNet (the p-invoke only version) and HTML Tidy.

The fastest XML/HTML/XHTML tag parsing library, it is suitable in the case you don't need all the features of a complete tag parsing. Allows the most basic input from an XML source and can automatically parse doctype entites.

Escm is a text file processor that expands embedded Scheme expressions in the input file. Unlike other text-embedded language processors, escm does not depend on a particular Scheme implementation---you can use your favorite Scheme.
