VAST

A library for parsing Digital Video Ad Serving Template (VAST) documents, as outlined by the Interactive Advertising Bureau at [http://www.iab.net/iab_products_and_industry_services/508676/digitalvideo/vast]. This library strives to be as true to the standard as possible, while presenting a Ruby-friendly interface.

VAST outlines a standard document format for communication between digital video players and ad servers, including support for multiple forms of creative and tracking support that conforms to the latest IAB standards.

Installation

VAST is available as a RubyGem.

gem install vast

Please, file an issue.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

• Fork the project.
• Make your feature addition or bug fix.
• Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
