I think Mark's document makes alot of sense. I am using Marks changes currently
(patched 0.3.6) and
I love the method 'first' that he has added to XML::Node.
I fully agree that removing Node::Set in favor or an Array would make the API
more powerful.
Currently if I want to sort some nodes I have to put them in some other data
structure. Ie:
array = []
node.find( 'Child1/Child2' ).each { |e| array << e }
array.sort{ |a,b| a.meth <=> b.meth }
IMO, it is so much nicer to say:
node.find( 'Child1/Child2' ).sort{ |a,b| a.meth <=> b.meth }
Replaing XML::Attr in place of array, is seems like that should be a hash, no?
Maybe this was typo
on #5.
Mark, are all of these implemented in your patch (i haven't actually looked at
the patch contents
itself)? If not let me know and I can help fulfill your api changes.
On a side note. Since I will be using libxml as well =) I can throw up a Trac
site for libxml-ruby
if the team would like to use it. Currently we host for rubyeclipse as well
(http://rubyeclipse.mktec.com)
