Instance Method Details

#to_xml(parent_node = nil, default_namespace = nil) ⇒ Object

Create an xml representation of the specified class based on defined HappyMapper elements and attributes. The method is defined in a way that it can be called recursively by classes that are also HappyMapper classes, allowg for the composition of classes.
