It''d be interesting and useful for me to have your input on this:
Currently I have a basic rails app that does nothing particularly
special.
I want to be able to upload an XML file to a directory and schedule my
application to parse this XML file to a database every ~15 minutes.
My questions are this: What is the best (or your preferred) method of
parsing XML and what is the best (or your preferred) method of
scheduling tasks (perhaps with cron on Unix systems like the one my
application is hosted on)?
I''ve been considering Nokogiri for parsing the XML and using Whenever
to
schedule the parsing but I''d appreciate and value your input.
I''m not familiar with Nokogiri or Whenever so this job is a lot bigger
to me than it may seem to some of you that''re more experienced with
them
so please bare that in mind when giving me your opinion.
This is the first step - once I''ve got the data being regularly
updated,
I need to output the contents of my database with dynamic graphics such
as charts but I''ll cross this bridge when I come to it.
Thank you.
