= XML Truth

This project is a repository of benchmarks comparing features and speed of
the current XML/HTML parsing players in the Ruby world.

== Results

This test is for measuring the difference between parse times in different
XML parsers. The test was conducted with two XML files, one small xml file
at 18k, and one large XML file at 7.0M. N is adjusted in the small document
parse runs to make sure that the amount of xml run through each system was
approximately the same.

These tests were conducted with:

  • stock ruby 1.8.6 on OS X 10.5
  • libxml2 version 2.7.3
  • Hpricot version 0.7 (hpricot does not have a VERSION constant)
  • N being the number of iterations in each test
