module REXML

Module REXML provides classes and methods for parsing, editing, and generating XML.

Implementation¶ ↑

REXML:

• Is pure Ruby.

• Provides tree, stream, SAX2, pull, and lightweight APIs.

• Conforms to XML version 1.0.

• Fully implements XPath version 1.0.

• Is non-validating.

• Passes 100% of the non-validating Oasis tests.

In a Hurry?¶ ↑

If you’re somewhat familiar with XML and have a particular task in mind, you may want to see the tasks pages.

API¶ ↑

Among the most important classes for using REXML are:

• REXML::Document.

• REXML::Element.

There’s also an REXML tutorial.
