Method: LibXML::XML::Reader.string

Defined in:
ext/libxml/ruby_xml_reader.c

.XML::Reader.string(io) ⇒ XML::Reader .XML::Reader.string(io, : encoding) ⇒ XML::Encoding::UTF_8

Creates a new reader by parsing the specified string.

You may provide an optional hash table to control how the parsing is performed. Valid options are:

base_uri - The base url for the parsed document.
encoding - The document encoding, defaults to nil. Valid values
           are the encoding constants defined on XML::Encoding.
options - Controls the execution of the parser, defaults to 0.
          Valid values are the constants defined on
          XML::Parser::Options.  Mutliple options can be combined
          by using Bitwise OR (|).
