I know a lot of people that do hpricot or xpath-style stuff to test
XML. I really like my ghetto simple Hash.from_xml approach.
hash = Hash.from_xml response.body
hash['book'].should_not be_nil
hash['book']['price'].should == 123.45
You could probably wrap it up a bit more, but I like how clear and
straightforward it is.
