Coda Hale commented on SOLR-122:
--------------------------------
I hadn't seen Xaagly, Antonio -- I'll check it out.
libxml2 is definitely the most stable, mature XML parser for C around, though,
and I'd be reluctant to use anything else -- XML can be tricky business (from
security perspectives as well as performance), and libxml2 has received
scrutiny from a much, much larger population of programmers than either Hpricot
or Xaagly.
Either way, thanks to the well-architected nature of solrb, it's easy enough to
write a wrapper for the XML library of your choice.
> Add optional support for Ruby-libxml2 (vs. REXML)

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients - ruby - flare

> This file adds drop-in support for the ruby-libxml2, which is a wrapper for
> the libxml2 library, which is an order of magnitude or so faster than REXML.
> This depends on my SOLR-121 patch for multi-document adds, since the behavior
> of Solr::Request::AddDocument#to_s is different.
> Requiring this makes some tests fail, but for trivial reasons: some tests are
> directly tied to REXML, others fail due to interelement whitespace added by
> libxml2 (which you can't disable via the Ruby interface). Functionally, it's
> identical, and passes all functional tests.
