A fast & lightweight XML/HTML parser in Swift that makes your life easier. [[Documentation]](http://cezheng.github.io/Fuzi/)
Fuzi is based on a Swift port of Mattt Thompson's Ono(斧), using most of its low level implementations with moderate class & interface redesign following standard Swift conventions, along with several bug fixes.
> Fuzi(斧子) means "axe", in homage to Ono(斧), which in turn is inspired by Nokogiri (鋸), which means "saw".
