forecast_conditions.each do |condition|

In this example, is forecast_conditions a root node? or is it several nodes? Thanks for this great example!

EDIT: Also, how would you get an attribute vs innerHTML?

For a use case I would like to edit the XML response and make another post request.
What is the best way to go about this?

  1. Should I construct the XML back again from the hash?
  2. Can I somehow get the response in XML format itself and edit the data?

Which would be the better approach?
