Cocoa-xml provides a more ruby like interface to Cocoa’s NSXMLDocument and classes that inherit from NSXMLNode. It provides access to XPath, XQuery, and CSS selectors for searching documents.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Cocoa-xml uses native Cocoa xml processing facilities.
CSS, XPath, and XQuery can be used to search a document
Broken HTML documents can be processed thanks to NSXMLDocument

  puts link.text
end

doc.xpath('//h3/a[@class="l"]').each do |link|
