happymapper

DESCRIPTION:

XML to object mapping library. I have included examples to help get you going. The specs should also point you in the right direction.

FEATURES:

  • Easy to define xml attributes and elements for an object

  • Fast because it uses libxml-ruby under the hood

  • Automatic conversion of xml to defined objects

EXAMPLES:

Here is a simple example that maps Twitter statuses and users.

class User
  include HappyMapper

  element :id, Integer
  element :name, String
  element :screen_name, String
  element :location, String
  element :description, String
  element :profile_image_url, String
  element :url, String
  element :protected, Boolean
  element :followers_count, Integer
end

class Status
  include HappyMapper

  element :id, Integer
  element :text, String
  element :created_at, Time
  element :source, String
  element :truncated, Boolean
  element :in_reply_to_status_id, Integer
  element :in_reply_to_user_id, Integer
  element :favorited, Boolean
  has_one :user, User
end
