Well the CDATA bit is just XML's way of conveniently storing chunks of
data with arbitrary contents, so REXML should handle that. What's
inside looks like a php serialized object. Unsurprisingly ruby does
not come with functions to deal with serialized php objects (and I
suspect php doesn't come with libraries to parse ruby's serialized
object format). If you're lucky there will be a gem out there (maybe
http://github.com/jqr/php-serialize ) that already does this, if not
you will just have to implement the unserializing yourself.
