Returns XML representing the model. Configuration can be passed through
options
.
Without any options
, the returned XML string will include all
the model’s attributes. For example:
user = User.find(1) user.to_xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <user> <id type="integer">1</id> <name>David</name> <age type="integer">16</age> <created-at type="datetime">2011-01-30T22:29:23Z</created-at> </user>
The :only
and :except
options can be used to
limit the attributes included, and work similar to the
attributes
method.
To include the result of some method calls on the model use
:methods
.
To include associations use :include
.
