Anyone know of a similar library in rails that works well?

I'm pretty sure this (HPricot) is the one most people use in Ruby:

Here's a great hpricot tutorial

hpricot is great, but I hear lately that Nokogiri is faster and just as capable:

Nokogiri even has a HPricot emulation mode, if you need to port HPricot code.
