A method to convert the the resource to an XML string.
Options
The options parameter is handed off to the to_xml method on each attribute, so it has the same options as the to_xml methods in ActiveSupport.
| indent: | Set the indent level for the XML output (default is +2+). |
| dasherize: | Boolean option to determine whether or not element names should replace underscores with dashes (default is false). |
| skip_instruct: | Toggle skipping the +instruct!+ call on the XML builder that generates the XML declaration (default is false). |
Examples
my_group = SubsidiaryGroup.find(:first) my_group.to_xml # => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> # <subsidiary_group> [...] </subsidiary_group> my_group.to_xml(:dasherize => true) # => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> # <subsidiary-group> [...] </subsidiary-group> my_group.to_xml(:skip_instruct => true) # => <subsidiary_group> [...] </subsidiary_group>
