Simple example showing how to parse an XML file containing currency data.

Download Chilkat Ruby Library

require 'chilkat'

xml0 = Chilkat::CkXml.new()

#  The Chilkat XML component is freeware.

#  Load an XML document.  Typically you might call LoadXml
#  to load an XML file.  This example loads an XML file from
#  a URL:
xml = xml0.HttpGet("http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/currency.xml")

#  Iterate over each "CURRENCY" child node and display the contents:

n = xml.NumChildrenHavingTag("CURRENCY")
for i in 0 .. n - 1
    curr = xml.GetNthChildWithTag("CURRENCY",i)
    print "----" + "\n";
    print "Name: " + curr.getChildContent("NAME") + "\n";
    print "Code: " + curr.getChildContent("CURRENCYCODE") + "\n";
    print "Country: " + curr.getChildContent("COUNTRY") + "\n";

end
