Configuration

Configuration is optional. The available option is logger which is a Logger instance. By default, the logger is Logger.new($stderr) with Logger::WARN level. To change the logger level, use RelatonXsf.configure block.

require 'relaton_xsf'
=> true

RelatonXsf.configure do |config|
  config.logger.level = Logger::DEBUG
end

Search for a standard using keywords

hit_collection = RelatonXsf::Bibliography.search("XEP 0001")
=> <RelatonXsf::HitCollection:0x00000000019780 @ref=XEP 0001 @fetched=false>

item = hit_collection[0].fetch
=> #<RelatonXsf::BibliographicItem:0x000000011167a518
 ...

XML serialization

item.to_xml
=> "<bibitem id="XEP0001" type="standard" schema-version="v1.2.8">
      <fetched>2023-07-18</fetched>
      <title format="text/plain" language="en" script="Latn">XMPP Extension Protocols</title>
      ...
    <bibitem>"

With argument bibdata: true it outputs XML wrapped by bibdata element and adds flavor ext element.

item.to_xml bibdata: true
=> "<bibdata type="standard" schema-version="v1.2.8">
      <fetched>2023-07-18</fetched>
      <title format="text/plain" language="en" script="Latn">XMPP Extension Protocols</title>
