I've hit a problem which no one on the regular rails list seems to know about. I've studied the rails code but I can't get to the bottom of it, so I thought I'd ask here. It's about active_support/mini_xml:
Seems to me that {}.to_xml is generating one level too many of xml structure, but I may be interpreting things incorrectly... I've reduced my question to a very simple case:
b
=> {"elist"=>[{:element=>1}, {:element=>2}]}
puts b.to_xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <elist type="array"> <elist> <element type="integer">1</element> </elist> <elist> <element type="integer">2</element> </elist> </elist> </hash>
Also with skip_types:
puts b.to_xml(:skip_types => true)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hash> <elist> <elist> <element>1</element> </elist> <elist> <element>2</element> </elist> </elist> </hash>
There's one too many levels of <elist>. Is this a bug or intentional? Is there a way to get it to remove that extra layer?
What I would like/expect the behavior to be is:
<hash> <elist> <element>1</element> <element>2</element> </elist> </hash>
Thoughts?
