Subject: parse an xml snippet to a hash
Reply to author | Forward | Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

Hi -- I have a custom ActiveResource action that returns the following xml:

"<result>\n  <successes>\n    <1>a082000000HqJzUAAV</1>\n
<2>a082000000HqJzsAAF</2>\n    <3>a082000000HqJzVAAV</3>\n  </successes>\n
<failures>\n  </failures>\n</result>\n"

Is there a quick & easy way to turn this into the following hash?

{ "result" { "successes" => { "1" => "a082000000HqJzUAAV", "2" =>
"a082000000HqJzsAAF", "3" => "a082000000HqJzVAAV" }, "failures" => {} }

Or should I go off & learn hpricot like I've been meaning to for ~3 years?
Cheers,
   Doug.

This might help:

http://xml-mapping.rubyforge.org/

Not used it myself though.

Interesting, cheers!
Probably a little heavy-duty for me right now, but bookmarked for future
reference.
Cheers,
   Doug.

That's what I thought when I looked at the page. Personally I  usually  
just mangle XML using libXML, I actually don't mind the syntax myself.

learn Hpricot regardless, it's jQuery selectors for rubyists!

Although your <1>, <2>, <3> style XML grammar feels a bit odd and doesn't
really lend itself to xpath or css selection ...

Cheers,

Steve

Just realising that, now! Bit of a rethink on the return document, I think!

Activesupport adds Hash.from_xml which should do what you want.

Or you could try the cobravsmongoose gem:

cobravsmongoose looks very interesting for the future, but for now the
Hash.from_xml is damn' near perfect!
Just returns a blank hash as the string "/n  ", which I can deal with easily
enough.
Thank very much!
   Doug.
