193:       def from_xml(xml)

to_xml(options = {}, &block) click to toggle source

Returns XML representing the model. Configuration can be passed through options.

Without any options, the returned XML string will include all the model’s attributes. For example:

  user = User.find(1)
  user.to_xml

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <user>
    <id type="integer">1</id>
    <name>David</name>
    <age type="integer">16</age>
    <created-at type="datetime">2011-01-30T22:29:23Z</created-at>
  </user>

The :only and :except options can be used to limit the attributes included, and work similar to the attributes method.

To include the result of some method calls on the model use :methods.

To include associations use :include.

For further documentation see activerecord/lib/active_record/serializers/xml_serializer.xml.
