# Tag Monster!

Tag monster helps you extract information from enormous XML files without eating up all your memory and knocking your server over. It does this by going through the file one tag at a time without loading the whole thing in memory, so you can data mine the crap out of those massive XML files you got from who-knows-where.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby

gem 'tag_monster'

```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install tag_monster

## Usage

Given this XML:

```xml

  

    Foo

    

      100

      

        Bob

        Larry

      

    

  

  

    Bar

    

      250

      

        Sally

      

    

  

  ...

```

And this ruby:

```ruby

doc = TagMonster::Document.new input_stream

doc.each_element '/root/entity' do |element|

  id = element.attributes['id']

  data = element.extract name: '/name', price: '/product/price', units: '/product/units/unit'

  name = data[:name][0]

  price = data[:price][0]

  units = data[:units]

end

```

You'll get the following values:

```ruby

id = "1"

name = "Foo"

price = "100"

units = ["Bob","Larry"]

id = "2"

name = "Bar"

price = "250"

units = ["Sally"]

...

```

## Limitations

Currently can only be used for simple XML processing.
