ItunesParser

A simple and fast iTunes Library XML parser based on nokogiri-plist.

Description

The iTunes Library XML is a PList file, so logically, the best way to parse this is with a PList parser.

The main concept is to keep things simple, using Arrays and Hashes, so you can later use the items within the XML file as you please.

Dependencies:

• Ruby >= 2.0.0
• Nokogiri-plist ~> 0.5

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'itunes_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install itunes_parser

Usage

First, create a new instance:

ip = ItunesParser.new(xml_dir: "/route/to/the/file.xml")

Then you can:

• Check all the playlists:

    ip.playlists
  

• Or get them with just the ID and Name:

    ip.playlists(pretty: true)
  

• And then show a playlist tracks based on the ID:

    a.playlist_tracks(id: <playlist_id>)
  

• Or check all the tracks:

    a.tracks
  

• Of course you can also get just the ID and Name:

    a.tracks(pretty: true)
  

• And check just one track based on the ID:

    a.track(id: <track_id>)
