A mere seven years after its inception, libxml-ruby has finally reached version 1.0. libxml-ruby provides ruby, via the libxml2 libary, the super fast, feature rich xml parser that is has sorely lacked.

Last year I posted about the resurrection of the project, and since then we've made enormous progress. The 1.0 release marks the culmination of this work, and comes with tons of goodies:

• Ruby 1.9.1 support
• Out of the box support for OS X 10.5 and MacPorts
• Greatly expanded documentation
• Much better test coverage
• A nice, clean API that makes it easy to do simple things, but provides all the power of libxml2 if you need it

Not to mention that libxml-ruby is blindingly fast and incredibly feature rich (see my post from last year for all the details), making it the choice for a number of high-traffic websites.

So give them a try - its as easy to install as:

gem install libxml-ruby
