[announcement] fast xml serializer for rails

[Mark Roach]

Hi, all. I wanted to give folks here a heads-up on a plugin I just uploaded
to github which uses libxml to serialize ActiveRecord objects:

Speed differences I've recorded are around 3x-4x faster than
ActiveRecord::Base#to_xml

Awesome! Does it pass the rails 2.3 tests? (I'll look at it in just a bit)

Well, it's not a drop-in replacement for to_xml because keeping
complete compatibility would have required keeping some of the
inefficiencies, so it shouldn't affect the rails tests themselves. It
is very similar in usage though.
