Answer 1

Language: Objective-C
Library: libxml2 + Matt Gallagher's libxml2 wrappers + Ben Copsey's ASIHTTPRequest

ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/773340"];
[request start];
NSError *error = [request error];
if (!error) {
    NSData *response = [request responseData];
    NSLog(@"Data: %@", [[self query:@"//a[@href]" withResponse:response] description]);
    [request release];
}
else 
    @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:@"kMyHTTPRequestFailed" reason:@"Request failed!" userInfo:nil];

...

- (id) query:(NSString *)xpathQuery WithResponse:(NSData *)resp {
    NSArray *nodes = PerformHTMLXPathQuery(resp, xpathQuery);
    if (nodes != nil)
        return nodes;
    return nil;
}
