I am a big fan of Ruby. There are so many beautiful libraries out there and most of them are based on some kind of domain specific language. Take builder as an example: Builder::XmlMarkup.new.person { |b| b.name(“Jim”); b.phone(“555-1234”) } #=> Jim555-1234 Generating XML in this manner is pretty cool! There is no crazy XML editor […]

In this short article I am going to crunch the candidates “Savon”:http://github.com/rubiii/savon, which is currently the most “popular” library, and “Handsoap”:http://github.com/unwire/handsoap/ which follows short after. Both are open source projects […]
This documentation is deprecated, please have a look at “savonrb.com”:http://savonrb.com/! p. The two libraries have different approaches on how to get things done. While Handsoap is using an oldschool inheritance style definition: class HandsoapBankCode “some_wsdl”, :version => 2 def on_create_document(doc) doc.alias “tns”, “some_namespace” end def on_response_document(doc) doc.add_namespace “ns1”, “some_namespace” end […]
