nom-xml

A library to help you tame sprawling XML schemas.

nom-xml allows you to define a “terminology” to ease translation between XML and ruby objects – you can query the xml for Nodes or node values without ever writing a line of XPath. nom-xml is built on top of nokogiri decorators, which means you can mix-and-match NOM accessors with nokogiri xpaths, xml manipulation, and traversing and it will just work.
