Xaggly vs Hpricot vs REXML

Posted on November 28, 2006

Feeling the heat from the usual crowd, I cobbled together a XML-parser Ruby extension in C with a flagon of magic Flex and Bison elixir. This weekend, in a frenetic burst of Tryptophan-obliterating productivity, I had coded to the point where most reasonable XPath queries were working. So, I promoted my prematurely optimized, non-conformant bits to a named program called Xaggly. Tonight, I tested my parser using a ginormous XML file pilfered from the old-timey GPS watch’s serial interface. I am pleased with the pixels fired into the aether and will henceforth scuttle about with a jaunty step. Mr bray and _why: step away from the gogglebox and take heed.

    What’s the big-O notation for something that does anything in no time?

    O(kickass) + O(SQRT(1+SQRT(1+SQRT(1…))))
