[MacRuby-devel] hpricot and MacRuby

[s.ross]

Doesn't Nokogiri presume libxml? Is that present on a reg'lar old Mac,  
right out of the box?

Meantime, I'll check out the XML parser. The whole Web service thing  
is so incredibly useful, but such a PITA because nobody packages or  
parses XML the same way twice :)

Thanks for the quick answer(s).
