Parsing SOAP response using libxml in Ruby
ruby, soap, xmp
Solution
As you are using Savon you can convert the response to a hash. The conversion method `response.to_hash` does some other useful things for you as well.
You would then be able to get the value you want using code similar to the following
hres = soap_response.to_hash
conn_handler_id = hres[:get_connection_response][:return][:connection_handler_id]

Problem
I am trying to parse following SOAP response coming from Savon SOAP api ``` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soapenv:Body> <ns:getConnectionResponse xmlns:ns="http://webservice.jchem.chemaxon"> <ns:return> <ConnectionHandlerId>connectionHandlerID-283854719</ConnectionHandlerId> </ns:return> </ns:getConnectionResponse> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> ``` I am trying to use libxml-ruby without any success. Basically I want to extract anything inside tag and the connectionHandlerID value.
