Parameters:

  • xml (Nokogiri::XML::Node, Nokogiri:XML::Document, String) —

    the XML contents to convert into Object.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    additional information for parsing. :single => true if requesting a single object, otherwise it defaults to retuning an array of multiple items. :xpath information where to start the parsing :namespace is the namespace to use for additional information.
