Is There A Standard XML Parser?

I'm just getting started with Ruby and need one of my applications to parse an XML file provided by a client. I've been looking at using REXML, but I have a feeling there might be a XML parser library included in the Ruby 1.8 distribution. Am I mistaken or just blind? I noticed it has a YAML parsing library, which is what makes me think there's probably an XML parsing one too.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
