Hello all

I am trying to start a project where I have to crawl the web to get  
some data. I am a bit confused between different options available in  
RoR. Can anyone share his/her experience with scRUBYt or Anemone or  
hpricot? I mean pros-cons of each of these.

Thanks in advance.

Ajit

I use hpricot + some gems like open-uri, activerecord, etc without  
problem.

Dunno about the others.

Don’t forget about Nokogiri (faster than Hpricot) and Treetop (parser  
generator) either! 🙂
