I wrote something similar a while ago
http://github.com/casualjim/ironnails/tree/master/IronNails/vendor/iron_nails/lib/iron_xml.rb
statuses = []
IronXml.parse('friends_timeline.xml', :document) do |doc|
doc.elements('statuses') do |status|
st = Status.new
st.id = status.element('id').value
st.created_at = status.element('created_at').value
st.text = status.element('text').value
st.source = status.element('source').value
st.truncated = status.element('truncated').value
st.in_reply_to_status_id = status.element('in_reply_to_status_id').value
st.in_reply_to_user_id = status.element('in_reply_to_user_id').value
st.favorited = status.element('favorited').value
status.elements('user') do |user|
# process user here
end
statuses << st
end
end
or
statuses = []
IronXml.parse('friends_timeline.xml', :document) do |doc|
doc.statuses do |status|
st = Status.new
st.id = status.id
st.created_at = status.created_at
st.text = status.text
st.source = status.source
st.truncated = status.truncated
st.in_reply_to_status_id = status.in_reply_to_status_id
st.in_reply_to_user_id = status.in_reply_to_user_id
st.favorited = status.favorited
status.user do |user|
# process user here
end
statuses << st
end
end
You can maybe look there for inspiration :)
