XML Schema

XmlSchema gem is a simple convertor utility for XML Schema (literal) datatypes to/from native Ruby objects.

Usage

$ require "xml_schema"

$ XmlSchema.datatype_of(true)  # => #<URI::HTTP:0x00000000dcff78 URL:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#boolean>
$ XmlSchema.datatype_of(Time.now)  # => #<URI::HTTP:0x00000000dcff78 URL:http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#time>

$ XmlSchema.instantiate("55^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#int>")  # => 55

XmlSchema also provides means to access and work with frequently used namespaces:

$ NS::OWL.uri  # => #<URI::HTTP:0x00000000dcff78 URL:http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl>
$ NS::RDFS["hello"]  # => #<URI::HTTP:0x00000000dcff78 URL:http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#hello>

That’s pretty much all there is to it.
