Hello.
Thanks to my bas from softwarelab.eu (little advert)
I'm starting to release code that i wrote so far :)
for now there's little - or no- documentation but i'll be working on it
back to the topic:
xml-map is easy to use XML to ruby object library with rails-like models,
validators and more ^^, it uses vary fast libxml instead of slow and old
REXML, you need version 0.4 of libxml to work properly
you can grab it from svn from xml-map.rubyforge.org
What is done:
- Import valid XML
- autogenerate models
- some validators
what i'm working on:
- all validators from XmlSchema
- autogenerating models with validators from xsd
require 'rubygems'
require 'xml/libxml'
require '../lib/xml_models'
require 'pp'
============================================
> cat sample/sample.rb
tfile = ARGV.shift || "test.xml"
# auogenerate required models
xm=XmlMapper.new({:generate=>true, :file=> $stdout})
#load xml file
doc = XML::Document.file(tfile)
root_node = doc.root
# parase xml and create model instances
rn = xm.parse_xml(root_node)
pp rn
rn.content[0].content<<"dwa"
rn.save(out.xml)
============================================
> cat sample/test.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
<simple>raz</simple>
<Complicated param2="2" param1="string" param3="3">
<simple>dwa</simple>
<simple>trzy</simple>
</Complicated>
</root>
============================================
ruby sample.rb
class RootNode < XmlNode
end
class SimpleNode < XmlNode
end
class ComplicatedNode < XmlNode
end
#===== class generation ends here, you can copy above classes add
attr_accessors for desired attributes
#<RootNode:0xb7810364
@content=
[#<SimpleNode:0xb780fc20 @content=["raz"], @node_name="simple">,
#<ComplicatedNode:0xb780f39c
@content=
[#<SimpleNode:0xb780eac8 @content=["dwa"], @node_name="simple">,
#<SimpleNode:0xb780e640 @content=["trzy"], @node_name="simple">],
@node_name="Complicated",
@param1="string",
@param2="2",
@param3="3">],
@node_name="root">
======================================
soon i'm going to provide more documentation and more compleate support for
xsd and validators, if anyone is interested in helping in this easy but time
consuming work, please let me know ^^
