Oga is an XML/HTML parser library for Ruby with a simple API for parsing, modifying, and querying documents via XPath. It requires no system libraries like libxml, using a small native extension for performance and supporting thread-safe parsing.

Use cases

  • parse xml documents in ruby
  • parse html without libxml
  • query documents with xpath
  • scrape html pages in ruby
  • stream-parse large xml files
  • sax parsing of xml feeds

When to choose

  • you want a pure-Ruby-installable XML/HTML parser without native system dependencies
  • you need thread-safe parsing in a multi-threaded app
  • you want a lighter alternative to Nokogiri

When to avoid

  • you need maximum parsing performance or extensive Nokogiri feature parity
  • you need actively developed software with frequent updates
