XML Mapping in Ruby

Dear lazy web…

I’ve been playing with Ruby and XML lately, and one of the key features I need to use is XML mapping from XML to Ruby objects and vice versa. However, both ROXML and XML::Mapping do not seem to be very active at the moment. Both forums contain un-replied questions  several months old, and I can’t find any examples that are not a couple of years old.

Is there any XML Mapping library for Ruby that is currently active(*)? XML::Mapping was serving me good enough, until the moment that I needed some of the documented features and found that they are not supported in the current release :-(

 (*) by active I don’t mean it needs to be in exclusively in code development, but at least with some recent activity in forums, documentation, examples, etc..

      FYI, as of September 2008, I’ve revived the ROXML project and it’s seen regular releases since then. Check it out!

      Check out xml-mapping from the CVS. The documented features are in there.

      (I’m the author of the library)

      I intend to create a new release version of this in the near future. The project has been dormat for some years (…) because my interest has shifted to other things. If I have time, I’ll pick it up again, at the very least fixing up some loose ends. :-P
