== DESCRIPTION:

Nokogiri (鋸) is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser.

== FEATURES:

* XPath support for document searching
* CSS3 selector support for document searching
* XML/HTML builder
* Drop in replacement for Hpricot (though not bug for bug)

Nokogiri parses and searches XML/HTML very quickly, and also has
correctly implemented CSS3 selector support as well as XPath support.

Here is a speed test:

Nokogiri also features an Hpricot compatibility layer to help ease the change
to using correct CSS and XPath.
