to_xml

Convert any Ruby object to XML

Serialize XML easily in Ruby.

Why does this project exist? A while ago I was asked by a client to create an API. I thought JSON and YAML support would suffice but they asked for XML support too. It seems that one of their largest clients "only uses XML and .net". Yes, I was shocked too ... a company still using .net in 2011 - hahaha. But I digress. To my horror I found that there's currently no simple foo.to_xml -- in rolls to_xml a small pure ruby simple to_xml serializer.

Installation

gem install to_xml

Usage

require 'to_xml'

puts( { :a => "A letter", 1 => "A number", 'something' => 1234 }.to_xml )
# => <a type="string">A letter</a><1 type="string">A number</1><something type="integer">1234</something>

puts( { :foo => :bar }.to_xml! )
# => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
#    <foo type="symbol">bar</foo>

puts( "bob".to_xml( :name ) )
# => <name type="string">bob</name>

puts( 37.to_xml( :age ) )
# => <age type="integer">37</age>

puts( [ 1, :a, "a", Time.now ].to_xml )
# => <array size="4"><item type="integer">1</item><item type="symbol">a</item><item type="string">a</item><item type="time">2011-01-24 19:47:35 +0200</item></array>
