DESCRIPTION:
Wombat is a lightweight web crawling and scraping library written in Ruby that focuses on extracting structured data from web pages using a concise domain-specific language (DSL). It is designed to simplify the process of defining how information should be collected from HTML documents without requiring large amounts of scraping boilerplate code. Developers can declare the data fields they want and specify selectors or rules for retrieving them, allowing Wombat to parse and return structured results. The DSL approach helps make scraping definitions more readable and maintainable, especially when dealing with multiple fields or nested data structures. Because it is implemented as a Ruby library, it integrates easily into Ruby applications and scripts that need to gather information from web pages. Wombat also includes examples and tests that demonstrate how scraping definitions can be written and executed within Ruby environments.
