Back to XML

[pyrabbit]

Thank you for your work on this project. It is more reliable than the active_support alternative I was working with. I am interested in a feature that can reproduce the source XML from the generated Ruby hash. Is this within the scope of this project and would you be open to me contributing that feature?

Hi, thanks for the sugestion! It's been a long time since I made this project. I'm kind of surprised I didn't make a function to generate an XML string from hash. It's a good idea and I'm definitely open to contributions!

@digitalheir thanks for the quick reply. this library has stood the test of time as it still works fairly reliably for me. i am not to the point in my project yet where we will be translating back to XML but I will probably reach that point in the upcoming month. I look forward to contributing when I get to that point!

I suppose we should add a method that creates Nokogiri nodes and then leverage Nokogiri's own XML renderer. Since this project depends on Nokogiri already...

[pyrabbit]

that makes a lot of sense -- i am still digesting a lot of what Nokogiri has to offer but I think by the time I am done I will be knowledgeable enough to implement something that does as you suggested
