XSD and XML

Hi!
Is there a way to deal with XML-files in Ruby? And further: is there a
(existing) solution/way how to parse/validate XML-files against a XML-
Schema (XSD)?

Thanks for any help!

REXML is the Ruby Library for parsing xml docs. Not sure if it
validates though.
http://www.germane-software.com/software/rexml/ has a tutorial and the
documentation. The documentation is also available with the standard
RDoc.

There is also libxml-ruby:
    http://libxml.rubyforge.org/doc/

Also, I have used JRuby to use Java XML processing libraries.

I finally found (after I googled "libxml-ruby xsd") a "Recipe" how to
validate XML-files against DTD/XSD!
Here is the link: http://codeidol.com/other/rubyckbk/XML-and-HTML/Validating-an-XML-Document/
I think it's using "libxml-ruby", but (as I understood it) it is not a
"pure-Ruby"-solution because it's using a C library. But that's no
problem.

Thanks for your hints!
