Subject: XML parser

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some information about the xml libraries available in
Ruby.

I've read a few blog post about the pro's and con's of REXML and
Libxml but I still have some questions :

- as I understand it REXML is part of ruby standard library and so is
included in ruby distribution ?

- libxml is a wrapper for gnome libxml and must be installed and
compiled with gem ?

- is libxml really a full validating and compliant parser ?

- how do you use xslt in Ruby ? do you use http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/ruby-xslt/
or http://rubyforge.org/projects/libxsl/ (if I'm right the second one
is part of libxml ? )

As you see I'm lost and I would really appreciate your help or some
comprehensive post about xml processing in ruby .

Thanks !

Cedric
