Overview

Nokogiri::XML::Reader parses an XML document similar to the way a cursor would move. The Reader is given an XML document, and yields nodes to an each block.

The Reader parser might be good for when you need the speed and low memory usage of the SAX parser, but do not want to write a Document handler.

Here is an example of usage:

reader = Nokogiri::XML::Reader(<<-eoxml)
  <x xmlns:tenderlove='http://tenderlovemaking.com/'>
    <tenderlove:foo awesome='true'>snuggles!</tenderlove:foo>
  </x>
eoxml

reader.each do |node|

  # node is an instance of Nokogiri::XML::Reader
  puts node.name

end

⚠ Nokogiri::XML::Reader#each can only be called once! Once the cursor moves through the entire document, you must parse the document again. It may be better to capture all information you need during a single iteration.

⚠ libxml2 does not support error recovery in the Reader parser. The ‘RECOVER` ParseOption is ignored. If a syntax error is encountered during parsing, an exception will be raised.
