== DESCRIPTION:

Object to xml mapping library. I have included examples to help get you going. The specs should also point you in the right direction.

== FEATURES:

• Easy to define xml attributes and elements for an object
• Fast because it uses libxml-ruby under the hood
• Automatic conversion of xml to defined objects
• Reusable classes via a node finding mechanism that searches by 1. specified tag,

1. name of element, 3. class name. (gemspec was upgraded to 0.3.0 for this change)

== EXAMPLES:

Here is a simple example that maps Twitter statuses and users.

class User include HappyMapper

element :id, Integer
element :name, String
element :screen_name, String
element :location, String
element :description, String
element :profile_image_url, String
element :url, String
element :protected, Boolean
element :followers_count, Integer

end

class Status include HappyMapper

element :id, Integer
element :text, String
element :created_at, Time
element :source, String
element :truncated, Boolean
element :in_reply_to_status_id, Integer
element :in_reply_to_user_id, Integer
element :favorited, Boolean
has_one :user, User

end
