Hi,

Yes, Yes and Yes.  obj2xml and xml2obj is not for round-trip conversion
although its name indicates it.

I introduced this XML <-> Ruby mapping to avoid bothersome XML DOM
programming in Web Services (soap4r).  Do you think xampl can help us
instead of XSD::Mapping?

For example, flickr client is as follows;
(cf. http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r/browser/trunk/sample/soap/flickr.rb)

  flickr = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new('http://www.flickr.com/services/soap/')
  ...
  response = flickr.request(
    :api_key => api_key,
    :method => 'flickr.test.echo',
    :name => 'hello world')

  responsexml = "<dummy>#{response}</dummy>" # svr returns partial XML!
  require 'xsd/mapping'
  obj = XSD::Mapping.xml2obj(responsexml)
  p obj.method
  p obj.name

Creating XML request with a Hash and creating Ruby object with
XSD::Mapping.  Both are for XML <-> Ruby mapping.  It's enough small but
when I come to create more complexed XML instance...  How I can write
this with xampl?
