Kanna is a Swift XML/HTML parser library inspired by Ruby's Nokogiri, built on libxml2. It supports XPath 1.0 and CSS3 selector queries across Apple platforms and Linux.

Use cases

  • parse html in swift
  • extract data from xml documents in ios app
  • scrape web pages with xpath in swift
  • query html with css selectors on linux
  • parse xml feeds in a macos app

When to choose

  • you need XPath or CSS selector querying in Swift
  • you want a Nokogiri-like API for HTML/XML parsing
  • you need cross-platform Swift support including Linux

When to avoid

  • you need a validating XML schema processor
  • you are not using Swift
  • you need streaming parsing of very large documents
