Xml2Hash

This is a tiny gem allowing you to parse XML stream (or string) into Ruby hash via available SAX parser. Supported parsers are: (Ox)[https://github.com/ohler55/ox], (Nokogiri)[https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri].

Note that the functionality of this gem is very limited. It completely ignores attributes and namespaces currently and was intended to speed things up when you need to parse simple mid-size XML for basic in-memory manipulation. And you run on Heroku. Inside of Sidekiq 😱.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'xml2hash'

Make sure this lines goes afer one of the following:

gem 'ox'       # This gem is recommended to lower memory consumption and imrove speed
gem 'nokogiri' # Fallback when Ox isn't available (e.g. you are using JRuby)

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install xml2hash

## Usage

```ruby
hash = Xml2Hash.parse('<xml></xml>')
hash = Xml2Hash.parse(File.open 'file.xml', 'r')

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
