Nokogiri follows Semantic Versioning, please see the README.md for details.
Since 2009, Nokogiri has configured libxml2 to use ruby_xmalloc
et al for memory management. This has provided benefits for memory management, but comes with a performance penalty.
Users can now opt into using system malloc
for libxml2 memory management by setting an environment variable:
# "default" here means "libxml2's default" which is system malloc
NOKOGIRI_LIBXML_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT=default
Benchmarks show that this setting will significantly improve performance, but be aware that the tradeoff may involve poorer memory management including bloated heap sizes and/or OOM conditions.
You can read more about this in the decision record at adr/2023-04-libxml-memory-management.md
.
Encoding
objects may now be passed to serialization methods like#to_xml
,#to_html
,#serialize
, and#write_to
to specify the output encoding. Previously only encoding names (strings) were accepted. [#2774, #2798] (Thanks, @ellaklara!)
- [CRuby]
Schema.from_document
now makes a defensive copy of the document if it has blank text nodes with Ruby objects instantiated for them. This prevents unsafe behavior in libxml2 from causing a segfault. There is a small performance cost, but we think this has the virtue of being "what the user meant" since modifying the original is surprising behavior for most users. Previously this was addressed in v1.10.9 by raising an exception.
- [CRuby]
XSLT.transform
now makes a defensive copy of the document if it has blank text nodes with Ruby objects instantiated for them and the template usesxsl:strip-spaces
. This prevents unsafe behavior in libxslt from causing a segfault. There is a small performance cost, but we think this has the virtue of being "what the user meant" since modifying the original is surprising behavior for most users. Previously this would allow unsafe memory access and potentially segfault. [#2800]
Nokogiri::XML::Node::SaveOptions#inspect
now shows the names of the options set in the bitmask, similar toParseOptions
. [#2767]#inspect
and pretty-printing are improved forAttributeDecl
,ElementContent
,ElementDecl
, andEntityDecl
.- [CRuby] The C extension now uses Ruby's TypedData API for managing all the libxml2 structs. Write barriers may improve GC performance in some extreme cases. [#2808] (Thanks, @etiennebarrie and @byroot!)
- [CRuby]
ObjectSpace.memsize_of
reports a pretty good guess of memory usage when called onNokogiri::XML::Document
objects. [#2807] (Thanks, @etiennebarrie and @byroot!) - [CRuby] Users installing the "ruby" platform gem and compiling libxml2 and libxslt from source will now be using a modern
config.guess
andconfig.sub
that supports new architectures likeloongarch64
. [#2831] (Thanks, @zhangwenlong8911!) - [CRuby] HTML5 parser now adjusts the specified attributes, adding
xlink:arcrole
and removingxml:base
[#2841, #2842] - [JRuby]
Node#first_element_child
now returnsnil
if there are only non-element children. [#2808, #2844] - Documentation for
Nokogiri::XSLT
now has usage examples including custom function handlers.
- Passing a
Nokogiri::XML::Node
as the first parameter toCDATA.new
is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind ofNokogiri::XML::Document
. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri. - Passing a
Nokogiri::XML::Node
as the first parameter toSchema.from_document
is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind ofNokogiri::XML::Document
. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri. - Passing a
Nokogiri::XML::Node
as the second parameter toText.new
is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind ofNokogiri::XML::Document
. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri.
- [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated to address CVE-2023-29469, CVE-2023-28484, and one other security-related issue. See GHSA-pxvg-2qj5-37jqGHSA-pxvg-2qj5-37jq for more information.
- [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated to v2.10.4 from v2.10.3.
- Calling
NodeSet#to_html
on an empty node set no longer raises an encoding-related exception. This bug was introduced in v1.14.0 while fixing #2649. [#2784]
- Serializing documents now works again with pseudo-IO objects that don't support IO's encoding API (like rubyzip's
Zip::OutputStream
). This was a regression in v1.14.0 due to the fix for #752 in #2434, and was not completely fixed by #2753. [#2773] - [CRuby] Address compiler warnings about
void*
casting and old-style C function definitions.
This release introduces native gem support for Ruby 3.2. (Also see "Technical note" under "Changed" below.)
This release ends support for:
- Ruby 2.6, for which upstream support ended 2022-04-12.
- JRuby 9.3, which is not fully compatible with Ruby 2.7+
This version of Nokogiri ships official native gem support for the aarch64-linux
platform, which should support AWS Graviton and other ARM64 Linux platforms. Please note that glibc >= 2.29 is required for aarch64-linux systems, see Supported Platforms for more information.
This version of Nokogiri ships experimental native gem support for the arm-linux
platform. Please note that glibc >= 2.29 is required for arm-linux systems, see Supported Platforms for more information.
This version introduces an experimental pattern matching API for XML::Attr
, XML::Document
, XML::DocumentFragment
, XML::Namespace
, XML::Node
, and XML::NodeSet
(and their subclasses).
Some documentation on what can be matched:
XML::Attr#deconstruct_keys
XML::Document#deconstruct_keys
XML::Namespace#deconstruct_keys
XML::Node#deconstruct_keys
XML::DocumentFragment#deconstruct
XML::NodeSet#deconstruct
We welcome feedback on this API at #2360.
- Vendored libiconv is updated to v1.17
- This version of Nokogiri uses
jar-dependencies
to manage most of the vendored Java dependencies.nokogiri -v
now outputs maven metadata for all Java dependencies, andNokogiri::VERSION_INFO
also contains this metadata. [#2432] - HTML parsing is now provided by
net.sourceforge.htmlunit:neko-htmlunit:2.61.0
(previously Nokogiri used a fork oforg.cyberneko.html:nekohtml
) - Vendored Jing is updated from
com.thaiopensource:jing:20091111
tonu.validator:jing:20200702VNU
. - New dependency on
net.sf.saxon:Saxon-HE:9.6.0-4
(vianu.validator:jing:20200702VNU
).
Node#wrap
andNodeSet#wrap
now also accept aNode
type argument, which will bedup
ed for each wrapper. For cases where many nodes are being wrapped, creating aNode
once usingDocument#create_element
and passing thatNode
multiple times is significantly faster than re-parsing markup on each call. [#2657]- [CRuby] Invocation of custom XPath or CSS handler functions may now use the
nokogiri
namespace prefix. Historically, the JRuby implementation required this namespace but the CRuby implementation did not support it. It's recommended that all XPath and CSS queries use thenokogiri
namespace going forward. Invocation without the namespace is planned for deprecation in v1.15.0 and removal in a future release. [#2147] HTML5::Document#quirks_mode
andHTML5::DocumentFragment#quirks_mode
expose the quirks mode used by the parser.
- HTML5 parser update to reflect changes to the living specification:
- Serialization of HTML5 documents and fragments has been re-implemented and is ~10x faster than previous versions. [#2596, #2569]
- Parsing of HTML5 documents is ~90% faster thanks to additional compiler optimizations being applied. [#2639]
- Compare
Encoding
objects rather than compare their names. This is a slight performance improvement and is future-proof. [#2454] (Thanks, @casperisfine!)
Document#canonicalize
now raises an exception ifinclusive_namespaces
is non-nil and the mode is inclusive, i.e.XML_C14N_1_0
orXML_C14N_1_1
.inclusive_namespaces
can only be passed with exclusive modes, and previously this silently failed.- Empty CSS selectors now raise a clearer
Nokogiri::CSS::SyntaxError
message, "empty CSS selector". Previously the exception raised from the bowels ofracc
was "unexpected '$' after ''". [#2700] - [CRuby]
XML::Reader
parsing errors encountered duringReader#attribute_hash
andReader#namespaces
now raise anXML::SyntaxError
. Previously these methods would returnnil
and users would generally experienceNoMethodErrors
from elsewhere in the code. - Prefer
ruby_xmalloc
tomalloc
within the C extension. [#2480] (Thanks, @Garfield96!)
- Avoid compile-time conflict with system-installed
gumbo.h
on OpenBSD. [#2464] - Remove calls to
vasprintf
in favor of platform-independentrb_vsprintf
- Installation from source on systems missing libiconv will once again generate a helpful error message (broken since v1.11.0). [#2505]
- [CRuby+OSX] Compiling from source on MacOS will use the clang option
-Wno-unknown-warning-option
to avoid errors when Ruby injects options that clang doesn't know about. [#2689]
SAX::Parser
'sencoding
attribute will not be clobbered when an alternative encoding is passed intoSAX::Parser#parse_io
. [#1942] (Thanks, @kp666!)- Serialized
HTML4::DocumentFragment
will now be properly encoded. Previously this empty string was encoded asUS-ASCII
. [#2649] Node#wrap
now uses the parent as the context node for parsing wrapper markup, falling back to the document for unparented nodes. Previously the document was always used.- [CRuby] UTF-16-encoded documents longer than ~4000 code points now serialize properly. Previously the serialized document was corrupted when it exceeded the length of libxml2's internal string buffer. [#752]
- [CRuby] The HTML5 parser now correctly handles text at the end of
form
elements. - [CRuby]
HTML5::Document#fragment
now always usesbody
as the parsing context. Previously, fragments were parsed in the context of the associated document's root node, which allowed for inconsistent parsing. [#2553] - [CRuby]
Nokogiri::HTML5::Document#url
now correctly returns the URL passed to the constructor method. Previously it always returnednil
. [#2583] - [CRuby]
HTML5
encoding detection is now case-insensitive with respect tometa
tag charset declaration. [#2693] - [CRuby]
HTML5
fragment parsing in context of an annotation-xml node now works. Previously this rarely-used path invoked rb_funcall with incorrect parameters, resulting in an exception, a fatal error, or potentially a segfault. [#2692] - [CRuby]
HTML5
quirks mode during fragment parsing more closely matches document parsing. [#2646] - [JRuby] Fixed a bug with adding the same namespace to multiple nodes via
#add_namespace_definition
. [#1247] - [JRuby]
NodeSet#[]
now raises a TypeError if passed an invalid parameter type. [#2211]
Nokogiri.install_default_aliases
is deprecated in favor ofNokogiri::EncodingHandler.install_default_aliases
. This is part of a private API and is probably not called by anybody, but we'll go through a deprecation cycle before removal anyway. [#2643, #2446]
- [CRuby+OSX] Technical note: On MacOS Ruby 3.2, the symbols from libxml2 and libxslt are no longer exported. Ruby 3.2 adopted new features from the Darwin toolchain that make it challenging to continue to support this rarely-used binary API. A future minor release of Nokogiri may remove these symbols (and others) entirely. Feedback from downstream gem maintainers is welcome at #2746, where you'll also be able to read deeper context on this decision.

- [CRuby]
Nokogiri::XML::Namespace
objects, when compacted, update their internal struct's reference to the Ruby object wrapper. Previously, with GC compaction enabled, a segmentation fault was possible after compaction was triggered. [#2658] (Thanks, @eightbitraptor and @peterzhu2118!) - [CRuby]
Document#remove_namespaces!
now defers freeing the underlyingxmlNs
struct until theDocument
is GCed. Previously, maintaining a reference to aNamespace
object that was removed in this way could lead to a segfault. [#2658]
XML::Reader#attribute_nodes
is deprecated due to incompatibility between libxml2'sxmlReader
memory semantics and Ruby's garbage collector. Although this method continues to exist for backwards compatibility, it is unsafe to call and may segfault. This method will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri, and callers should use#attribute_hash
instead. [#2598]
XML::Reader#attribute_hash
is a new method to safely retrieve the attributes of a node fromXML::Reader
. [#2598, #2599]
- [CRuby] Calling
XML::Reader#attributes
is now safe to call. In Nokogiri <= 1.13.7 this method may segfault. [#2598, #2599]
XML::Node
objects, when compacted, update their internal struct's reference to the Ruby object wrapper. Previously, with GC compaction enabled, a segmentation fault was possible after compaction was triggered. [#2578] (Thanks, @eightbitraptor!)
- [CRuby] Address CVE-2022-29181, improper handling of unexpected data types, related to untrusted inputs to the SAX parsers. See GHSA-xh29-r2w5-wx8m for more information.
{HTML4,XML}::SAX::{Parser,ParserContext}
constructor methods now raiseTypeError
instead of segfaulting when an incorrect type is passed.
- [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated to address CVE-2022-29824. See GHSA-cgx6-hpwq-fhv5 for more information.
- [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated from v2.9.13 to v2.9.14.
- [CRuby] The libxml2 HTML parser no longer exhibits quadratic behavior when recovering some broken markup related to start-of-tag and bare
<
characters.
- [CRuby] The libxml2 HTML parser in v2.9.14 recovers from some broken markup differently. Notably, the XML CDATA escape sequence
<![CDATA[
and incorrectly-opened comments will result in HTML text nodes starting with<!
instead of skipping the invalid tag. This behavior is a direct result of the quadratic-behavior fix noted above. The behavior of downstream sanitizers relying on this behavior will also change. Some tests describing the changed behavior are intest/html4/test_comments.rb
.
- Address CVE-2022-24836, a regular expression denial-of-service vulnerability. See GHSA-crjr-9rc5-ghw8 for more information.

) is updated from a fork of 1.9.21 to 1.9.22.noko2. This fork is now publicly developed at https://github.com/sparklemotion/nekohtml
- [CRuby] Revert a HTML4 parser bug in libxml 2.9.13 (introduced in Nokogiri v1.13.2). The bug causes libxml2's HTML4 parser to fail to recover when encountering a bare
<
character in some contexts. This version of Nokogiri restores the earlier behavior, which is to recover from the parse error and treat the<
as normal character data (which will be serialized as<
in a text node). The bug (and the fix) is only relevant when theRECOVER
parse option is set, as it is by default. [#2461]
- [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated from 2.9.12 to 2.9.13. This update addresses CVE-2022-23308.
- [CRuby] Vendored libxslt is updated from 1.1.34 to 1.1.35. This update addresses CVE-2021-30560.
Please see GHSA-fq42-c5rg-92c2 for more information about these CVEs.
- [CRuby] Vendored libxml2 is updated from 2.9.12 to 2.9.13. Full changelog is available at https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxml2/2.9/libxml2-2.9.13.news
- [CRuby] Vendored libxslt is updated from 1.1.34 to 1.1.35. Full changelog is available at https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxslt/1.1/libxslt-1.1.35.news
- Fix
Nokogiri::XSLT.quote_params
regression in v1.13.0 that raised an exception when non-string stylesheet parameters were passed. Non-string parameters (e.g., integers and symbols) are now explicitly supported and both keys and values will be stringified with#to_s
. [#2418] - Fix CSS selector query regression in v1.13.0 that raised an
Nokogiri::XML::XPath::SyntaxError
when parsing XPath attributes mixed into the CSS query. Although this mash-up of XPath and CSS syntax previously worked unintentionally, it is now an officially supported feature and is documented as such. [#2419]
This release introduces native gem support for Ruby 3.1. Please note that Windows users should use the x64-mingw-ucrt
platform gem for Ruby 3.1, and x64-mingw32
for Ruby 2.6–3.0 (see RubyInstaller 3.1.0 release notes).
This release ends support for:
- Ruby 2.5, for which official support ended 2021-03-31.
- JRuby 9.2, which is a Ruby 2.5-compatible release.
This version of Nokogiri ships experimental native gem support for the aarch64-linux
platform, which should support AWS Graviton and other ARM Linux platforms. We don't yet have CI running for this platform, and so we're interested in hearing back from y'all whether this is working, and what problems you're seeing. Please send us feedback here: Feedback: Have you used the aarch64-linux
native gem?
This version of Nokogiri opts-in to the "MFA required to publish" setting on Rubygems.org. This and all future Nokogiri gem files must be published to Rubygems by an account with multi-factor authentication enabled. This should provide some additional protection against supply-chain attacks.
A related discussion about Trust exists at #2357 in which I invite you to participate if you have feelings or opinions on this topic.
- [CRuby] Vendored libiconv is updated from 1.15 to 1.16. (Note that libiconv is only redistributed in the native windows and native darwin gems, see
LICENSE-DEPENDENCIES.md
for more information.) [#2206] - [CRuby] Upgrade mini_portile2 dependency from
~> 2.6.1
to~> 2.7.0
. ("ruby" platform gem only.)
{XML,HTML4}::DocumentFragment
constructors all now take an optional parse options parameter or block (similar to Document constructors). [#1692] (Thanks, @JackMc!)Nokogiri::CSS.xpath_for
allows anXPathVisitor
to be injected, for finer-grained control over how CSS queries are translated into XPath.- [CRuby]
XML::Reader#encoding
will return the encoding detected by the parser when it's not passed to the constructor. [#980] - [CRuby] Handle abruptly-closed HTML comments as recommended by WHATWG. (Thanks to tehryanx for reporting!)
- [CRuby]
Node#line
is no longer capped at 65535. libxml v2.9.0 and later support a new parse option, exposed asNokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::PARSE_BIG_LINES
, which is turned on by default inParseOptions::DEFAULT_{XML,XSLT,HTML,SCHEMA}
(Note that JRuby already supported large line numbers.) [#1764, #1493, #1617, #1505, #1003, #533] - [CRuby] If a cycle is introduced when reparenting a node (i.e., the node becomes its own ancestor), a
RuntimeError
is raised. libxml2 does no checking for this, which means cycles would otherwise result in infinite loops on subsequent operations. (Note that JRuby already did this.) [#1912] - [CRuby] Source builds will download zlib and libiconv via HTTPS. ("ruby" platform gem only.) [#2391] (Thanks, @jmartin-r7!)
- [JRuby]
Node#line
behavior has been modified to return the line number of the node in the final DOM structure. This behavior is different from CRuby, which returns the node's position in the input string. Ideally the two implementations would be the same, but at least is now officially documented and tested. The real-world impact of this change is that the value returned in JRuby is greater by 1 to account for the XML prolog in the output. [#2380] (Thanks, @dabdine!)
- CSS queries on HTML5 documents now correctly match foreign elements (SVG, MathML) when namespaces are not specified in the query. [#2376]
XML::Builder
blocks restore context properly when exceptions are raised. [#2372] (Thanks, @ric2b and @rinthedev!)- The
Nokogiri::CSS::Parser
cache now uses theXPathVisitor
configuration as part of the cache key, preventing incorrect cache results from being returned when multipleXPathVisitor
options are being used. - Error recovery from in-context parsing (e.g.,
Node#parse
) now always uses the correctDocumentFragment
class. PreviouslyNokogiri::HTML4::DocumentFragment
was always used, even for XML documents. [#1158] DocumentFragment#>
now works properly, matching a CSS selector against only the fragment roots. [#1857]XML::DocumentFragment#errors
now correctly contains any parsing errors encountered. Previously this was always empty. (Note thatHTML::DocumentFragment#errors
already did this.)- [CRuby] Fix memory leak in
Document#canonicalize
when inclusive namespaces are passed in. [#2345] - [CRuby] Fix memory leak in
Document#canonicalize
when an argument type error is raised. [#2345] - [CRuby] Fix memory leak in
EncodingHandler
where iconv handlers were not being cleaned up. [#2345] - [CRuby] Fix memory leak in XPath custom handlers where string arguments were not being cleaned up. [#2345]
- [CRuby] Fix memory leak in
Reader#base_uri
where the string returned by libxml2 was not freed. [#2347] - [JRuby] Deleting a
Namespace
from aNodeSet
no longer modifies thehref
to be the default namespace URL. - [JRuby] Fix XHTML formatting of closing tags for non-container elements. [#2355]
- Passing a
Nokogiri::XML::Node
as the second parameter toNode.new
is deprecated and will generate a warning. This parameter should be a kind ofNokogiri::XML::Document
. This will become an error in a future version of Nokogiri. [#975] Nokogiri::CSS::Parser
,Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer
, andNokogiri::CSS::Node
are now internal-only APIs that are no longer documented, and should not be considered stable. With the introduction ofXPathVisitor
injection intoNokogiri::CSS.xpath_for
there should be no reason to rely on these internal APIs.- CSS-to-XPath utility classes
Nokogiri::CSS::XPathVisitorAlwaysUseBuiltins
andXPathVisitorOptimallyUseBuiltins
are deprecated. PreferNokogiri::CSS::XPathVisitor
with appropriate constructor arguments. These classes will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri.
[JRuby] Address CVE-2021-41098 (GHSA-2rr5-8q37-2w7h).
In Nokogiri v1.12.4 and earlier, on JRuby only, the SAX parsers resolve external entities (XXE) by default. This fix turns off entity-resolution-by-default in the JRuby SAX parsers to match the CRuby SAX parsers' behavior.
CRuby users are not affected by this CVE.
- [CRuby]
Document#to_xhtml
properly serializes self-closing tags in libxml > 2.9.10. A behavior change introduced in libxml 2.9.11 resulted in emitting start and and tags (e.g.,<br></br>
) instead of a self-closing tag (e.g.,<br/>
) in previous Nokogiri versions. [#2324]
Namespace behavior when reparenting nodes has historically been poorly specified and the behavior diverged between CRuby and JRuby. As a result, making this behavior consistent in v1.12.0 introduced a breaking change.
This patch release reverts the Builder behavior present in v1.12.0..v1.12.3 but keeps the Document behavior. This release also introduces a Document attribute to allow affected users to easily change this behavior for their legacy code without invasive changes.
This release of Nokogiri introduces a new Document
boolean attribute, namespace_inheritance
, which controls whether children should inherit a namespace when they are reparented. Nokogiri::XML:Document
defaults this attribute to false
meaning "do not inherit," thereby making explicit the behavior change introduced in v1.12.0.
CRuby users who desire the pre-v1.12.0 behavior may set document.namespace_inheritance = true
before reparenting nodes.
See https://nokogiri.org/rdoc/Nokogiri/XML/Document.html#namespace_inheritance-instance_method for example usage.
However, recognizing that we want Builder
-created children to inherit namespaces, Builder now will set namespace_inheritance=true
on the underlying document for both JRuby and CRuby. This means that, on CRuby, the pre-v1.12.0 behavior is restored.
Users who want to turn this behavior off may pass a keyword argument to the Builder constructor like so:
Nokogiri::XML::Builder.new(namespace_inheritance: false)
See https://nokogiri.org/rdoc/Nokogiri/XML/Builder.html#label-Namespace+inheritance for example usage.
Note that any downstream gems may want to specifically omit Nokogiri v1.12.0--v1.12.3 from their dependency specification if they rely on child namespace inheritance:
Gem::Specification.new do |gem|
# ...
gem.add_runtime_dependency 'nokogiri', '!=1.12.3', '!=1.12.2', '!=1.12.1', '!=1.12.0'
# ...
end
- [JRuby] Fix NPE in Schema parsing when an imported resource doesn't have a
systemId
. [#2296] (Thanks, @pepijnve!)
- [CRuby] Fix compilation of libgumbo on older systems with versions of GCC that give errors on C99-isms. Affected systems include RHEL6, RHEL7, and SLES12. [#2302]
- [CRuby] Ensure that C extension files in non-native gem installations are loaded using
require
and rely on$LOAD_PATH
instead of usingrequire_relative
. This issue only exists when deleting shared libraries that exist outside the extensions directory, something users occasionally do to conserve disk space. [#2300]
- [CRuby] Fix compilation of libgumbo on BSD systems by avoiding GNU-isms. [#2298]
HTML5 support has been added (to CRuby only) by merging Nokogumbo into Nokogiri. The Nokogumbo public API has been preserved, so this functionality is available under the Nokogiri::HTML5
namespace. [#2204]
Please note that HTML5 support is not available for JRuby in this version. However, we feel it is important to think about JRuby and we hope to work on this in the future. If you're interested in helping with HTML5 support on JRuby, please reach out to the maintainers by commenting on issue #2227.
Many thanks to Sam Ruby, Steve Checkoway, and Craig Barnes for creating and maintaining Nokogumbo and supporting the Gumbo HTML5 parser. They're now Nokogiri core contributors with all the powers and privileges pertaining thereto. 🙌
Nokogiri::HTML
has been renamed to Nokogiri::HTML4
, and Nokogiri::HTML
is aliased to preserve backwards-compatibility. Nokogiri::HTML
and Nokogiri::HTML4
parse methods still use libxml2's (or NekoHTML's) HTML4 parser in the v1.12 release series.
Take special note that if you rely on the class name of an object in your code, objects will now report a class of Nokogiri::HTML4::Foo
where they previously reported Nokogiri::HTML::Foo
. Instead of relying on the string returned by Object#class
, prefer Class#===
or Object#is_a?
or Object#instance_of?
.
Future releases of Nokogiri may deprecate HTML
methods or otherwise change this behavior, so please start using HTML4
in place of HTML
.
- [CRuby]
Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxslt"]["datetime_enabled"]
is a new boolean value which describes whether libxslt (or, more properly, libexslt) has compiled-in datetime support. This generally going to betrue
, but some distros ship without this support (e.g., some mingw UCRT-based packages, see msys2/MINGW-packages#8957). See #2272 for more details.
- Introduce a new constant,
Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XSLT
, which adds the libxslt-preferred options ofNOENT | DTDLOAD | DTDATTR | NOCDATA
toParseOptions::DEFAULT_XML
. Nokogiri.XSLT
parses stylesheets usingParseOptions::DEFAULT_XSLT
, which should make some edge-case XSL transformations match libxslt's default behavior. [#1940]
- [CRuby] Namespaced attributes are handled properly when their parent node is reparented into another document. Previously, the namespace may have gotten dropped. [#2228]
- [CRuby] Reparented nodes no longer inherit their parent's namespace. Previously, a node without a namespace was forced to adopt its parent's namespace. [#1712, #425]
- [CRuby] Speed up (slightly) the compile time of packaged libraries
libiconv
,libxml2
, andlibxslt
by using autoconf's--disable-dependency-tracking
option. ("ruby" platform gem only.)
- Deprecating Nokogumbo's
Nokogiri::HTML5.get
. This method will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri.
- [CRuby] Upgrade mini_portile2 dependency from
~> 2.5.0
to~> 2.6.1
. ("ruby" platform gem only.)
- [CRuby] Backporting an upstream fix to XPath recursion depth limits which impacted some users of complex XPath queries. This issue is present in libxml 2.9.11 and 2.9.12. [#2257]
- [CRuby]
DocumentFragment#path
now does proper error-checking to handle behavior introduced in libxml > 2.9.10. In v1.11.4 and v1.11.5, callingDocumentFragment#path
could result in a segfault.
[Windows CRuby] Work around segfault at process exit on Windows when using libxml2 system DLLs.
libxml 2.9.12 introduced new behavior to avoid memory leaks when unloading libxml2 shared libraries (see libxml/!66). Early testing caught this segfault on non-Windows platforms (see #2059 and libxml@956534e) but it was incompletely fixed and is still an issue on Windows platforms that are using system DLLs.
We work around this by configuring libxml2 in this situation to use its default memory management functions. Note that if Nokogiri is not on Windows, or is not using shared system libraries, it will will continue to configure libxml2 to use Ruby's memory management functions. Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxml"]["memory_management"]
will allow you to verify when the default memory management functions are being used. [#2241]
Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxml"]
now contains the key "memory_management"
to declare whether libxml2 is using its default
memory management functions, or whether it uses the memory management functions from ruby
. See above for more details.
[CRuby] Vendored libxml2 upgraded to v2.9.12 which addresses:
Note that two additional CVEs were addressed upstream but are not relevant to this release. CVE-2021-3516 via xmllint
is not present in Nokogiri, and CVE-2020-7595 has been patched in Nokogiri since v1.10.8 (see #1992).
Please see nokogiri/GHSA-7rrm-v45f-jp64 or #2233 for a more complete analysis of these CVEs and patches.
- [CRuby] vendored libxml2 is updated from 2.9.10 to 2.9.12. (Note that 2.9.11 was skipped because it was superseded by 2.9.12 a few hours after its release.)
- [CRuby] Passing non-
Node
objects toDocument#root=
now raises anArgumentError
exception. Previously this likely segfaulted. [#1900] - [JRuby] Passing non-
Node
objects toDocument#root=
now raises anArgumentError
exception. Previously this raised aTypeError
exception. - [CRuby] arm64/aarch64 systems (like Apple's M1) can now compile libxml2 and libxslt from source (though we continue to strongly advise users to install the native gems for the best possible experience)
- [CRuby]
NodeSet
may now safely containNode
objects from multiple documents. Previously the GC lifecycle of the parentDocument
objects could lead to nodes being GCed while still in scope. [#1952] - [CRuby] Patch libxml2 to avoid "huge input lookup" errors on large CDATA elements. (See upstream GNOME/libxml2#200 and GNOME/libxml2!100.) [#2132].
- [CRuby+Windows] Enable Nokogumbo (and other downstream gems) to compile and link against
nokogiri.so
by includingLDFLAGS
inNokogiri::VERSION_INFO
. [#2167] - [CRuby]
{XML,HTML}::Document.parse
now invokes#initialize
exactly once. Previously#initialize
was invoked twice on each object. - [JRuby]
{XML,HTML}::Document.parse
now invokes#initialize
exactly once. Previously#initialize
was not called, which was a problem for subclassing such as done byLoofah
.
- Reduce the number of object allocations needed when parsing an
HTML::DocumentFragment
. [#2087] (Thanks, @ashmaroli!) - [JRuby] Update the algorithm used to calculate
Node#line
to be wrong less-often. The underlying parser, Xerces, does not track line numbers, and so we've always used a hacky solution for this method. [#1223, #2177] - Introduce
--enable-system-libraries
and--disable-system-libraries
flags toextconf.rb
. These flags provide the same functionality as--use-system-libraries
and theNOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES
environment variable, but are more idiomatic. [#2193] (Thanks, @eregon!) - [TruffleRuby]
--disable-static
is now the default on TruffleRuby when the packaged libraries are used. This is more flexible and compiles faster. (Note, though, that the default on TR is still to use system libraries.) [#2191, #2193] (Thanks, @eregon!)
Nokogiri::XML::Path
is now a Module (previously it has been a Class). It has been acting solely as a Module since v1.0.0. See 8461c74.
- [CRuby] If
libxml-ruby
is loaded beforenokogiri
, the SAX and Push parsers no longer calllibxml-ruby
's handlers. Instead, they defensively override the libxml2 global handler before parsing. [#2168]
"Native gems" contain pre-compiled libraries for a specific machine architecture. On supported platforms, this removes the need for compiling the C extension and the packaged libraries. This results in much faster installation and more reliable installation, which as you probably know are the biggest headaches for Nokogiri users.
We've been shipping native Windows gems since 2009, but starting in v1.11.0 we are also shipping native gems for these platforms:
- Linux:
x86-linux
andx86_64-linux
-- including musl platforms like alpine - OSX/Darwin:
x86_64-darwin
andarm64-darwin
We'd appreciate your thoughts and feedback on this work at #2075.
This release introduces support for Ruby 2.7 and 3.0 in the precompiled native gems.
This release ends support for:
- Ruby 2.3, for which official support ended on 2019-03-31 [#1886] (Thanks @ashmaroli!)
- Ruby 2.4, for which official support ended on 2020-04-05
- JRuby 9.1, which is the Ruby 2.3-compatible release.
- Explicitly add racc as a runtime dependency. [#1988] (Thanks, @voxik!)
- [MRI] Upgrade mini_portile2 dependency from
~> 2.4.0
to~> 2.5.0
[#2005] (Thanks, @alejandroperea!)
See note below about CVE-2020-26247 in the "Changed" subsection entitled "XML::Schema parsing treats input as untrusted by default".
- Add Node methods for manipulating "keyword attributes" (for example,
class
andrel
):#kwattr_values
,#kwattr_add
,#kwattr_append
, and#kwattr_remove
. [#2000] - Add support for CSS queries
a:has(> b)
,a:has(~ b)
, anda:has(+ b)
. [#688] (Thanks, @jonathanhefner!) - Add
Node#value?
to better match expected semantics of a Hash-like object. [#1838, #1840] (Thanks, @MatzFan!) - [CRuby] Add
Nokogiri::XML::Node#line=
for use by downstream libs like nokogumbo. [#1918] (Thanks, @stevecheckoway!) nokogiri.gemspec
is back after a 10-year hiatus. We still prefer you use the official releases, butmain
is pretty stable these days, and YOLO.
- [CRuby] The CSS
~=
operator and class selector.
are about 2x faster. [#2137, #2135] - [CRuby] Patch libxml2 to call
strlen
fromxmlStrlen
rather than the naive implementation, becausestrlen
is generally optimized for the architecture. [#2144] (Thanks, @ilyazub!) - Improve performance of some namespace operations. [#1916] (Thanks, @ashmaroli!)
- Remove unnecessary array allocations from Node serialization methods [#1911] (Thanks, @ashmaroli!)
- Avoid creation of unnecessary zero-length String objects. [#1970] (Thanks, @ashmaroli!)
- Always compile libxml2 and libxslt with '-O2' [#2022, #2100] (Thanks, @ilyazub!)
- [JRuby] Lots of code cleanup and performance improvements. [#1934] (Thanks, @kares!)
- [CRuby]
RelaxNG.from_document
no longer leaks memory. [#2114]
- [CRuby] Handle incorrectly-closed HTML comments as WHATWG recommends for browsers. [#2058] (Thanks to HackerOne user mayflower for reporting this!)
{HTML,XML}::Document#parse
now acceptPathname
objects. Previously this worked only if the referenced file was less than 4096 bytes long; longer files resulted in undefined behavior because theread
method would be repeatedly invoked. [#1821, #2110] (Thanks, @doriantaylor and @phokz!)- [CRuby] Nokogumbo builds faster because it can now use header files provided by Nokogiri. [#1788] (Thanks, @stevecheckoway!)
- Add
frozen_string_literal: true
magic comment to alllib
files. [#1745] (Thanks, @oniofchaos!) - [JRuby] Clean up deprecated calls into JRuby. [#2027] (Thanks, @headius!)
- HTML Parsing in "strict" mode (i.e., the
RECOVER
parse option not set) now correctly raises aXML::SyntaxError
exception. Previously the value of theRECOVER
bit was being ignored by CRuby and was misinterpreted by JRuby. [#2130] - The CSS
~=
operator now correctly handles non-space whitespace in theclass
attribute. commit e45dedd - The switch to turn off the CSS-to-XPath cache is now thread-local, rather than being shared mutable state. [#1935]
- The Node methods
add_previous_sibling
,previous=
,before
,add_next_sibling
,next=
,after
,replace
, andswap
now correctly use their parent as the context node for parsing markup. These methods now also raise aRuntimeError
if they are called on a node with no parent. [nokogumbo#160] - [JRuby]
XML::Schema
XSD validation errors are captured inXML::Schema#errors
. These errors were previously ignored. - [JRuby] Standardize reading from IO like objects, including StringIO. [#1888, #1897]
- [JRuby] Fix how custom XPath function namespaces are inferred to be less naive. [#1890, #2148]
- [JRuby] Clarify exception message when custom XPath functions can't be resolved.
- [JRuby] Comparison of Node to Document with
Node#<=>
now matches CRuby/libxml2 behavior. - [CRuby] Syntax errors are now correctly captured in
Document#errors
for short HTML documents. Previously the SAX parser used for encoding detection was clobbering libxml2's global error handler. - [CRuby] Fixed installation on AIX with respect to
vasprintf
. [#1908] - [CRuby] On some platforms, avoid symbol name collision with glibc's
canonicalize
. [#2105] - [Windows Visual C++] Fixed compiler warnings and errors. [#2061, #2068]
- [CRuby] Fixed Nokogumbo integration which broke in the v1.11.0 release candidates. [#1788] (Thanks, @stevecheckoway!)
- [JRuby] Fixed document encoding regression in v1.11.0 release candidates. [#2080, #2083] (Thanks, @thbar!)
- The internal method
Nokogiri::CSS::Parser.cache_on=
has been removed. Use.set_cache
if you need to muck with the cache internals. - The class method
Nokogiri::CSS::Parser.parse
has been removed. This was originally deprecated in 2009 in 13db61b. UseNokogiri::CSS.parse
instead.
Address CVE-2020-26247.
In Nokogiri versions <= 1.11.0.rc3, XML Schemas parsed by Nokogiri::XML::Schema
were trusted by default, allowing external resources to be accessed over the network, potentially enabling XXE or SSRF attacks.
This behavior is counter to the security policy intended by Nokogiri maintainers, which is to treat all input as untrusted by default whenever possible.
Please note that this security fix was pushed into a new minor version, 1.11.x, rather than a patch release to the 1.10.x branch, because it is a breaking change for some schemas and the risk was assessed to be "Low Severity".
More information and instructions for enabling "trusted input" behavior in v1.11.0.rc4 and later is available at the public advisory.
(Also noted above in the "Fixed" section) HTML Parsing in "strict" mode (i.e., the RECOVER
parse option not set) now correctly raises a XML::SyntaxError
exception. Previously the value of the RECOVER
bit was being ignored by CRuby and was misinterpreted by JRuby.
If you're using the default parser options, you will be unaffected by this fix. If you're passing strict
or norecover
to your HTML parser call, you may be surprised to see that the parser now fails to recover and raises a XML::SyntaxError
exception. Given the number of HTML documents on the internet that libxml2 would consider to be ill-formed, this is probably not what you want, and you can omit setting that parse option to restore the behavior that you have been relying upon.
Apologies to anyone inconvenienced by this breaking bugfix being present in a minor release, but I felt it was appropriate to introduce this fix because it's straightforward to fix any code that has been relying on this buggy behavior.
This release changes the metadata provided in Nokogiri::VersionInfo
which also affects the output of nokogiri -v
. Some related constants have also been changed. If you're using VersionInfo
programmatically, or relying on constants related to underlying library versions, please read the detailed changes for Nokogiri::VersionInfo
at #2139 and accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
- [MRI] Cross-built Windows gems now support Ruby 2.7 [#2029]. Note that prior to this release, the v1.11.x prereleases provided this support.
- [MRI] Raise an exception when Nokogiri detects a specific libxml2 edge case involving blank Schema nodes wrapped by Ruby objects that would cause a segfault. Currently no fix is available upstream, so we're preventing a dangerous operation and informing users to code around it if possible. [#1985, #2001]
- [JRuby] Change
NodeSet#to_a
to return a RubyArray instead of Object, for compilation under JRuby 9.2.9 and later. [#1968, #1969] (Thanks, @headius!)
[MRI] Pulled in upstream patch from libxml that addresses CVE-2020-7595. Full details are available in #1992. Note that this patch is not yet (as of 2020-02-10) in an upstream release of libxml.

patch
. [#1954]
[MRI] Vendored libxslt upgraded to v1.1.34 which addresses three CVEs for libxslt:
- CVE-2019-13117
- CVE-2019-13118
- CVE-2019-18197
- CVE-2019-19956
More details are available at #1943.

Address CVE-2019-5477 (#1915).
A command injection vulnerability in Nokogiri v1.10.3 and earlier allows commands to be executed in a subprocess by Ruby's Kernel.open
method. Processes are vulnerable only if the undocumented method Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer#load_file
is being passed untrusted user input.
This vulnerability appears in code generated by the Rexical gem versions v1.0.6 and earlier. Rexical is used by Nokogiri to generate lexical scanner code for parsing CSS queries. The underlying vulnerability was addressed in Rexical v1.0.7 and Nokogiri upgraded to this version of Rexical in Nokogiri v1.10.4.
This CVE's public notice is #1915
[MRI] Pulled in upstream patch from libxslt that addresses CVE-2019-11068. Full details are available in #1892. Note that this patch is not yet (as of 2019-04-22) in an upstream release of libxslt.

now correctly matches against any descendant. Previously this selector matched against only direct children). [#350] (Thanks, @Phrogz!) NodeSet#attr
now returnsnil
if it's empty. Previously this raised a NoMethodError.- [MRI] XPath errors are no longer suppressed during
XSLT::Stylesheet#transform
. Previously these errors were suppressed which led to silent failures and a subsequent segfault. [#1802]
- This release ends support for Ruby 2.2, for which official support ended on 2018-03-31 [#1841]

. This notably broke any subclass ofXML::DocumentFragment
includingHTML::DocumentFragment
as well as the Loofah gem'sLoofah::HTML::DocumentFragment
. [#1846]

and more information is available about this commit and its impact here:
This release simply reverts the libxml2 commit in question to protect users of Nokogiri's vendored libraries from similar vulnerabilities.
If you're offended by what happened here, I'd kindly ask that you comment on the upstream bug report here:

This release ends support for Ruby 2.1 on Windows in the x86-mingw32
and x64-mingw32
platform gems (containing pre-compiled DLLs). Official support ended for Ruby 2.1 on 2017-04-01.
Please note that this deprecation note only applies to the precompiled Windows gems. Ruby 2.1 continues to be supported (for now) in the default gem when compiled on installation.

- Support egcc compiler on OpenBSD (#1543) (Thanks, @frenkel and @knu!)
This release ends support for:
- Ruby 1.9.2, for which official support ended on 2014-07-31
- Ruby 1.9.3, for which official support ended on 2015-02-23
- Ruby 2.0.0, for which official support ended on 2016-02-24
- MacRuby, which hasn't been actively supported since 2015-01-13 (see https://github.com/MacRuby/MacRuby/commit/f76b9d6e99c18236db617e8aceb12c27d593a483)
Removes required dependency on the pkg-config
gem. This dependency
was introduced in v1.6.8 and, because it's distributed under LGPL, was
objectionable to many Nokogiri users (#1488, #1496).
This version makes pkg-config
an optional dependency. If it's
installed, it's used; but otherwise Nokogiri will attempt to work
around its absence.
[MRI] Bundled libxml2 is upgraded to 2.9.4, which fixes many security issues. Many of these had previously been patched in the vendored libxml 2.9.2 in the 1.6.7.x branch, but some are newer.

- Fixes for custom XPath functions. #605, #606 (thanks, Juan Wajnerman!)
Node#to_xml
does not override:save_with
if it is provided. #505Node#set
is a private method (JRuby). #564 (thanks, Nick Sieger!)- C14n cleanup and
Node#canonicalize
(thanks, Ivan Pirlik!) #563
- See changelog from 1.4.7
- extracted sets of
Node::SaveOptions
intoNode::SaveOptions::DEFAULT_{X,H,XH}TML
(refactor)
- default output of XML on JRuby is no longer formatted due to inconsistent whitespace handling. #415
- (JRuby) making empty
NodeSet
s with nullnodes
member safe to operate on. #443 - Fix a bug in advanced encoding detection that leads to partially duplicated document when parsing an HTML file with unknown encoding.
- Add support for
<meta charset="...">
.
- JRuby performance tuning
- See changelog from 1.4.4
Node#inner_text
no longer returns nil. (JRuby) #264
- See changelog from 1.4.3
- JRuby support is provided by a new pure-java backend.
- Ruby 1.8.6 is deprecated. Nokogiri will install, but official support is ended.
- LibXML 2.6.16 and earlier are deprecated. Nokogiri will refuse to install.
- FFI support is removed.
- Fix a bug in advanced encoding detection that leads to partially duplicated document when parsing an HTML file with unknown encoding. Thanks, Timothy Elliott (@ender672)! #478
- This version is functionally identical to 1.4.5.
- Ruby 1.8.6 support has been restored.
Nokogiri::HTML::Document#title
accessor gets and sets the document title.- extracted sets of
Node::SaveOptions
intoNode::SaveOptions::DEFAULT_{X,H,XH}TML
(refactor) - Raise an exception if a string is passed to
Nokogiri::XML::Schema#validate
. #406
Node#serialize
-and-friends now accepts aSaveOption
object as the, erm, save object.Nokogiri::CSS::Parser
has-aNokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer
- (JRUBY+FFI only) Weak references are now threadsafe. #355
- Make direct
start_element()
callback (currently used forHTML::SAX::Parser
) pass attributes in assoc array, just as emulatedstart_element()
callback does. rel. #356 HTML::SAX::Parser
should call back a block given toparse*()
if any, just asXML::SAX::Parser
does.- Add further encoding detection to HTML parser that libxml2 does not do.
Document#remove_namespaces!
now handles attributes with namespaces. #396XSLT::Stylesheet#transform
no longer segfaults when handed a non-XML::Document
. #452XML::Reader
no longer segfaults when under GC pressure. #439
XML::Node#children=
sets the node's inner html (much like #inner_html=), but returns the reparent node(s).- XSLT supports function extensions. #336
- XPath bind parameter substitution. #329
XML::Reader
node type constants. #369- SAX Parser context provides line and column information
XML::DTD#attributes
returns an empty hash instead of nil when there are no attributes.XML::DTD#{keys,each}
now work as expected. #324{XML,HTML}::DocumentFragment.{new,parse}
no longer strip leading and trailing whitespace. #319XML::Node#{add_child,add_previous_sibling,add_next_sibling,replace}
return aNodeSet
when passed a string.- Unclosed tags parsed more robustly in fragments. #315
XML::Node#{replace,add_previous_sibling,add_next_sibling}
edge cases fixed related to libxml's text node merging. #308- Fixed a segfault when GC occurs during xpath handler argument marshalling. #345
- Added hack to
Slop
decorator to work with previously defined methods. #330 - Fix a memory leak when duplicating child nodes. #353
- Fixed off-by-one bug with
nth-last-{child,of-type}
CSS selectors when NOT usingan+b
notation. #354 - Fixed passing of non-namespace attributes to
SAX::Document#start_element
. #356 - Workaround for libxml2 in-context parsing bug. #362
- Fixed
NodeSet#wrap
on nodes within a fragment. #331
XML::Reader#empty_element?
returns true for empty elements. #262Node#remove_namespaces!
now removes namespace declarations as well. #294NodeSet#at_xpath
,NodeSet#at_css
andNodeSet#>
do what the corresponding methods ofNode
do.
XML::NodeSet#{include?,delete,push}
accept anXML::Namespace
XML::Document#parse
added for parsing in the context of a documentXML::DocumentFragment#inner_html=
works with contextual parsing! #298, #281lib/nokogiri/css/parser.y
Combined CSS functions + pseudo selectors fixed- Reparenting text nodes is safe, even when the operation frees adjacent merged nodes. #283
- Fixed libxml2 versionitis issue with
xmlFirstElementChild
et al. #303 XML::Attr#add_namespace
now works as expected. #252HTML::DocumentFragment
uses the string's encoding. #305- Fix the CSS3 selector translation rule for the general sibling combinator (a.k.a. preceding selector) that incorrectly converted "E ~ F G" to "//F//G[preceding-sibling::E]".

safely unlinks previous content. GH #203XML::Node#namespace=
takes nil as a parameterXML::Node#xpath
returns things other thanNodeSet
objects. GH #208XSLT::StyleSheet#transform
