[ANN] JREXML 0.5

[Nick Sieger-2]

JREXML is a library that speeds up REXML performance by almost 10x under JRuby.

See the benchmark:

http://pastie.caboo.se/85850

Read about it:

http://caldersphere.rubyforge.org/jrexml/

Get it:

jruby -S gem install jrexml

Let me know how it works for you.

Wow cool...and it just sits quietly under REXML making things go fast?
Any other benefits like more-correct validation during parse?

Actually, yes.  Some malformed XML previously got by REXML, but apparently REXML has gotten better recently.  Still, it'll raise a ParseException on any underlying exception from the Java XPP3 parser.

Hey Nick, it doesn't work for me:
gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org
....................
complete
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (OpenURI::HTTPError)
    404 Not Found

I couldn't find the gem on RubyForge either, are you sure everything is OK?

FYI, I encountered the same problem. But I had no problem downloading the gem directly from the Caldersphere project page ( http://rubyforge.org/projects/caldersphere).

Very cool, Nick!

I believe that there is an error at gems.rubyforge.org. At least since
yesterday, the site seems to be broken. I will post a message about this
on Ruby-Talk, if this hasn't been done by someone anyway.

If you already *have* a sufficiently new version of gem on your
computer,
can you execute it like this,

  gem install -r jrexml

?

More or less.  Just download the gem from the project page, and "gem install jrexml-0.5.2.gem" (ensuring you're using JRuby's gem command) or "jruby -S gem install jrexml-0.5.2.gem".  I also have the gem hosted on my site, so you can "gem install --source http://caldersphere.net jrexml" as well.
