How do I convert a Ruby hash to XML?
ActiveSupport adds a to_xml method to Hash, so you can get pretty close to what you are looking for with this:
sudo gem install activesupportrequire "active_support/core_ext"my_hash = { :first_name => 'Joe', :last_name => 'Blow', :email => 'joe@example.com'}my_hash.to_xml(:root => 'customer')And end up with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><customer> <last-name>Blow</last-name> <first-name>Joe</first-name> <email>joe@example.com</email></customer>Note that the underscores are converted to dashes.
Gem gyoku very nice.
Gyoku.xml(:lower_camel_case => "key") # => "<lowerCamelCase>key</lowerCamelCase>"Gyoku.xml({ :camel_case => "key" }, { :key_converter => :camelcase })# => "<CamelCase>key</CamelCase>"Gyoku.xml({ acronym_abc: "value" }, key_converter: lambda { |key| key.camelize(:lower) })# => "<acronymABC>value</acronymABC>"and more useful options.
