Plugins - faster_from_xml
Add to favoritesThis plugin replaces the XmlSimple underpinnings of the Hash.from_xml method with a LibXml implementation. The result is about a ten fold increase in speed. This can be especially useful speeding up ActiveResource calls and providing higher throughput for your application.
This plugin requires the libxml gem to work.
Since the plugin overrides the from_xml method on Hash, the tests simple call rails own tests with the plugin installed for verification.
