How to beautify xml code in rails application
Is there a simple way to print an u开发者_运维问答nformated xml string to screen in a ruby on rails application? Something like a xml beautifier?
Ruby core REXML::Document has pretty printing:
REXML::Document#write( output=$stdout, indent=-1, transitive=false, ie_hack=false )
indent: An integer. If -1, no indenting will be used; otherwise, the indentation will be twice this number of spaces, and children will be indented an additional amount. For a value of 3, every item will be indented 3 more levels, or 6 more spaces (2 * 3). Defaults to -1
An example:
require "rexml/document"
doc = REXML::Document.new "<a><b><c>TExt</c><d /></b><b><d/></b></a>"
out = ""
doc.write(out, 1)
puts out
Produces:
<a>
<b>
<c>
TExt
</c>
<d/>
</b>
<b>
<d/>
</b>
</a>
EDIT: Rails has already REXML loaded, so you only have to produce new document and then write the pretty printed XML to some string which then can be embedded in a <pre> tag.
What about the Nokogiri gem? Here is an example use.
