MySQL XML¶ ↑

Provides an easy way to parse XML output from mysql -X. MySQLXML::parse takes an IO object for the XML and a block that gets called once for each record. The records are represented as hashes keyed by string representations of column names.

Example:

MySQLXML::parse(File.new('test.xml')) do |record|
  puts record['username']
end

This uses REXML’s stream parser, so it should be reasonably memory efficient.
