  case format
    when :xml
      return XmlSimple.xml_in(raw_post_data, 'ForceArray' => false)
    when :yaml

end

.parse_query_parameters(query_string) ⇒ Object

Returns a hash with the pairs from the query string. The implicit hash construction that is done in parse_request_params is not done here.

end

.parse_request_parameters(params) ⇒ Object

Returns the request (POST/GET) parameters in a parsed form where pairs such as “customer[street]” / “Somewhere cool!” are translated into a full hash hierarchy, like { “customer” => { “address” => { “street” => “Somewhere cool!” } } }
