Subject: [ANN] Cobra vs Mongoose 0.0.1

Cobra vs Mongoose translates XML to and from Ruby Hash objects,following the BadgerFish (http://badgerfish.ning.com/) convention.
Usage
Converting XML to a Ruby Hash
require 'cobravsmongoose'xml = '<alice><bob>charlie</bob><bob>david</bob></alice>'CobraVsMongoose.xml_to_hash(xml)# => { "alice" => { "bob" => [{ "$" => "charlie" }, { "$" => "david" }] } }
Converting a Ruby Hash to XML
require 'cobravsmongoose'hash = { "alice" => { "$" => "bob", "@charlie" => "david" } }CobraVsMongoose.hash_to_xml(hash)# => "<alice charlie='david'>bob</alice>"
