Builder
2.1.1 Released.¶ ↑
Release 2.1.1 of Builder
is mainly a bug fix release.
Changes in 2.1.1¶ ↑
-
Added
reveal
capability toBlankSlate
. -
Fixed a bug in
BlankSlate
where including a module intoObject
could cause methods to leak intoBlankSlate
. -
Fixed typo in XmlMarkup class docs (from Martin Fowler).
-
Fixed test on private methods to differentiate between targetted and untargetted private methods.
-
Removed legacy capture of @self in XmlBase (@self was used back when we used instance eval).
-
Added additional tests for global functions (both direct and included).
-
Several misc internal cleanups, including rearranging the source code tree.
NOTE: The escaping attribute values by default is different than in previous releases of Builder
. This makes version 2.0.x somewhat incompatible with the 1.x series of Builder
. If you use “&”, “<”, or “>” in attributes values, you may have to change your code. (Essentially you remove the manual escaping. The new way is easier, believe me).
What is Builder
?¶ ↑
Builder::XmlMarkup
is a library that allows easy programmatic creation of XML markup. For example:
builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=>STDOUT, :indent=>2) builder.person { |b| b.name("Jim"); b.phone("555-1234") }
will generate:
<person> <name>Jim</name> <phone>555-1234</phone> </person>
Availability¶ ↑
The easiest way to get and install builder is via RubyGems …
gem install builder (you may need root/admin privileges)
