Doing RSS, storing RSS

Does ruby on rails make it simple to grab a feed and then serialize it into the database and the unserialize it from the database and allow you to handle it as an object?

I know PHP can do this but can ruby do this? Do I need to make my own RSS parser or does ruby have something?

Thank you for the reply, I actually had a discussion of the creator of that prior to this post.

I resolved this issue by using a combination of a PHP script to do this and to allow ruby to do the rest. This seems to be the most efficient task.
