The libxml gem provides Ruby language bindings for GNOME's Libxml2 XML toolkit. It is free software, released under the MIT License.
libxml-ruby let's you:
- Read xml files
- Write xml files
- Search xml files using XPath
- Validate XML files
Full documentation is available at xml4r.github.io/libxml-ruby including a getting started guide.
libxml-ruby requires Ruby 3.2 or higher.
The easiest way to install libxml-ruby is via RubyGems. To install:
gem install libxml-ruby
If the extension compile process cannot find libxml2, you may need to indicate
the location of the libxml2 configuration utility as it is used to find the
required header and include files. (If you need to indicate a location for the
libxml2 library or header files different than reported by xml2-config,
see the additional configuration options.)
This may be done with RubyGems:
gem install libxml-ruby -- --with-xml2-dir=/path/to/xml2-config
Or bundler:
bundle config build.libxml-ruby --with-xml2-config=/path/to/xml2-config
bundle install libxml-ruby
Full documentation is available at xml4r.github.io/libxml-ruby including a getting started guide.
To run tests you first need to build the shared library:
rake compile
Once you have built the shared library, you can then run tests using rake:
rake test
