A small nokogiri xml reader DSL.
# A small DSL for helping parsing documents using Nokogiri::XML::Reader. The

# Just pass the reader in this parser and specificy the nodes that you are interested

# access and due to the nature of I/O being slower then memory, you should also
# see a gain in quicker response times.
#
# For example, if Person.first found the first person from the database & cache
# was an instance of Vash then the following would only contact the database for
# the first iteration:
