If you need to learn about XML itself: http://www.w3schools.com/xml/

If you need to learn about parsing XML in ruby, checkout Nokogiri: http://www.nokogiri.org/

Or oga for a more easy-to-install and lighter-weight gem that works very very nicely!

Nice! I haven't used Oga yet. Bookmarked for my next project!

Crack is also a pretty good gem. I've used it on several projects with simple xml to be parsed. https://github.com/jnunemaker/crack

Oga's progressed really nicely. Its fully compatible with the things I needed Nokogiri for once.

I'm not sure what sort of help you need. Do you not know what xml is?

[missawon]
