ODM

Simple Object Data Mapper

Parse Array of Hash into random Class of classes to make it more object oriented on the fly :)

at this point the following classes (and they child's) are implemented:

• [ Module, Array, Hash, Regexp, String, File, IO ]

initialize method will be called directly in array and hash classes, but will be exception handled if Argument or NoMethod Error occurs

example

    require 'odm'

    #> some random class as target models

    class STRING < String
    end

    class ARRAY < Array
    end

    class HASH < Hash

      def initialize original_obj
        # some stuff on init for fun
      end

    end

    odm= ODM.new do |opts|
      opts.array  = ARRAY
      opts.hash   = HASH
      opts.string = STRING
    end

    var= odm.parse [ {hello: {"world" => "hey!"} }, 123 ]
    puts var.inspect,var.class,var[0].class,var[0][:hello].keys[0].class
    #> [{:hello=>{"world"=>"hey!"}}, 123], ARRAY, HASH, STRING

yaml and json can be parsed too

    require 'yaml'
    yaml_data= [ {hello: {"world" => "hey!"} }, 123 ].to_yaml

    puts odm.parse_yml(yaml_data).inspect
    #> [{:hello=>{"world"=>"hey!"}}, 123]
