Method: Sequel::Plugins::XmlSerializer::InstanceMethods#to_xml

Defined in:
lib/sequel/plugins/xml_serializer.rb

#to_xml(opts = OPTS) ⇒ Object

Return a string in XML format. If a block is given, yields the XML builder object so you can add additional XML tags. Accepts the following options:

:builder

The builder instance used to build the XML, which should be an instance of Nokogiri::XML::Node. This is necessary if you are serializing entire object graphs, like associated objects.

:builder_opts

Options to pass to the Nokogiri::XML::Builder initializer, if the :builder option is not provided.

:camelize

Sets the :name_proc option to one that calls camelize on the input string. Requires that you load the inflector extension or another library that adds String#camelize.

:dasherize

Sets the :name_proc option to one that calls dasherize on the input string. Requires that you load the inflector extension or another library that adds String#dasherize.

:encoding

The encoding to use for the XML output, passed to the Nokogiri::XML::Builder initializer.

:except

Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns not to include in the XML output.

:include

Symbol, Array of Symbols, or a Hash with Symbol keys and Hash values specifying associations or other non-column attributes to include in the XML output. Using a nested hash, you can pass options to associations to affect the XML used for associated objects.

:name_proc

Proc or Hash that accepts a string and returns a string, used to format tag names.

:only

Symbol or Array of Symbols of columns to only include in the JSON output, ignoring all other columns.

:root_name

The base name to use for the XML tag that contains the data for this instance. This will be the name of the root node if you are only serializing a single object, but not if you are serializing an array of objects using Model.to_xml or Dataset#to_xml.

:types

Set to true to include type information for all of the columns, pulled from the db_schema.
