Hey Charlie.
Here is what I came up with. It mimics the rails method in that it
does not deal with attributes. It also doesn't do anything with
namespaces either. Frankly I don't quite know how I would deal those
issues anyway.
I am a fairly new rubyist so this code may not be up to your
standards, feel free to do with it what you will.
class LibXML::XML::Node
def has_duplicate_elements?
a=[]
self.each_element do |c|
return true if a.include? c.name
a << c.name
end
return false
end
def node_to_hash (node)
if not node.children?
nil
elsif (node.children.count == 1 && node.first.text?) ||
node.empty?
node.content
elsif node.has_duplicate_elements?
a =[]
node.each_element do |e|
a << {e.name => node_to_hash(e)}
end
a
else
h = {}
node.each_element { |e|
h[e.name] = node_to_hash(e)
}
h
end
end
def to_hash
h={}
h[self.name] = node_to_hash(self)
h
end
end
