Oga is an XML/HTML parser written in Ruby. Oga is an XML/HTML parser written in Ruby. It provides an easy-to-use API for parsing, modifying and querying documents (using XPath expressions). Oga does not require system libraries such as libxml, making it easier and faster to install on various platforms. To achieve better performance Oga uses a small, native extension (C for MRI/Rubinius, Java for JRuby). Oga provides an API that allows you to safely parse and query documents in a multi-threaded environment, without having to worry about your applications blowing up. Oga uses the version format MAJOR.MINOR (e.g. 2.1). An increase of the MAJOR version indicates backwards incompatible changes were introduced. The MINOR version is only increased when changes are backwards compatible, regardless of whether those changes are bugfixes or new features. Up until version 1.0 the code should be considered unstable meaning it can change (and break) at any given moment.
