What is the Ruby equivalent of python BeautifulSoup library?

Question

I am looking for an forgiving HTML parser to clean up HTML and retrieve data in Ruby. I have had success using BeautifulSoup for this - what is the ruby ​​equivalent?

Answer 1

Nokogiri

See also: Nokogiri vs Hpricot before making a choice. Nokogiri seems to have outperformed hpricot (not tested itself) and has good IMO syntax.

Answer 2

There was a Rubyful Soup that was the Ruby port for BeautifulSoup, but it is no longer supported, and their site now recommends hpricot .
