I suggest you look into Nokogiri.org

Something I just tried:
1.9.3p0 :001 > require 'nokogiri'
 => true
1.9.3p0 :037 > s = <<EXAMPLE
1.9.3p0 :038">  <kp:inputBindings>
1.9.3p0 :039">    <data>
1.9.3p0 :040">        <xsl:choose>
1.9.3p0 :041">           <xsl:when test="$map/xyz='true'">
1.9.3p0 :042">              <ns1:ABC>
1.9.3p0 :043">                <xsl:value-of name="$ap/abc">
1.9.3p0 :044">              </ns1:ABC>
1.9.3p0 :045">              <ns1:PQR>
1.9.3p0 :046">                <xsl:value-of name="$bp/fff">
1.9.3p0 :047">              </ns1:PQR>
1.9.3p0 :048">           </xsl:when>
1.9.3p0 :049">          </xsl:choose>
1.9.3p0 :050">      </data>
1.9.3p0 :051"> ............
1.9.3p0 :052">  </kp:inputBindings>
1.9.3p0 :053"> EXAMPLE
...
1.9.3p0 :055 > n = Nokogiri.XML(s)
...
1.9.3p0 :057 > n.children
