Quick announcement for the first version of DigestR, a ruby version of the Jakarta Commons Digester [1]. DigestR is a fast rules-based XML processor, based upon the libxml-ruby Libxml2 binding. It”Ēs SAX-based rules engine allows code to be executed based on patterns and individual elements in the source XML. Install: su -c 'gem install digestr' Or download: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1576 Documentation: http://digestr.rubyforge.org/ DigestR's API is intended to be familar to those who've worked with the commons digester, with similar rule semantics and so on, while also making use of ruby's advanced features. Additionally, it has a degree of compatibility with the existing REXML-based ruby xmldigester [2] to allow code to be easily migrated. You can find a couple of basic examples at: http://rubyforge.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/trunk/tests/tc_parse_examples.rb?root=digestr&view=markup Thanks, Ross -- [1] http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester [2] http://rubyforge.org/projects/xmldigester -- Ross Bamford - rosco / roscopeco.REMOVE.co.uk
