Here is the specific XML I ultimately need:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<customer>
<email>joe@example.com</email>
<first_name>Joe</first_name>
<last_name>Blow</last_name>
</customer>
But say I have a controller (Ruby on Rails) that is sending the data to a method. I'd prefer to send it as a hash, like so:
:first_name => 'Joe',
:last_name => 'Blow',
:email => 'joe@example.com'
So, how can I convert the hash to that XML format?
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.
I did a short presentation about exactly that topic at my university a while back. Here are the slides (Interesting part starts at >= page 37)
