This gem is written in Rust and provides precompiled binary versions for the most common architectures and operation systems. If there is no suitable version or if you don't want to use precompiled libraries, you need to install cargo to compile it from source.

Warning
This won't work for local development with rake compile

If you have some weird setup with cargo named differently, of it's not in your PATH, you can pass a command to be evaluated via environment variable CARGO, for example:

$ export CARGO=cargo1_72_1

or simply

$ CARGO=/path/to/cargo gem install xml2json-rb

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add xml2json-rb --require xml2json

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install xml2json-rb

require "xml2json"

puts Xml2Json::Xml.build_pretty('{"a": 1, "b": "2"}')
# <?xml version="1.0"?>
# <root>
#   <a>1</a>
#   <b>2</b>
# </root>
puts Xml2Json::Json.build("<root><a>1</a><b>2</b></root>", explicit_array: false)
# {"root":{"a":"1","b":"2"}}

See specs for more examples.

YARD docs are available on rubydoc.info for the latest released version and on pages.github.com for the most recent changes in master
