== OFXRB, the Pure Ruby OFX (Open Financial Exchange) Library OFXRB is *the* solution to parsing and generating OFX documents in Ruby. If you don't know what OFX is, you probably wouldn't be looking at this, but, to be complete: The Open Financial Exchange specification defines an information exchange protocol for financial applications. That essentially means that we now have an agreed upon way to represent what is in our bank accounts, initiate electronic transactions, and receive responses to those requests. OFX has been developed by Microsoft, Intuit and CheckFree. You can learn more at http://www.ofx.net. == Getting Started The best way to get OFXRB is using RubyGems. Since OFXRB is an open-source project hosted on RubyForge (http://rubyforge.org), this means that all you have to do to get the most recent stable build is: sudo gem install ofxrb To use it in your code, you need to follow the directions found over here http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3#page70. Once you have the library available to your Ruby program, you will need to parse an OFX document or generate one. == Parsing Documents OFXRB.parse(ofx_doc) The 'ofx_doc' is anything that walks like a String. OFXRB will figure out what version of the spec the doc is - and will complain if it doesn't know - and return an object structure representing the document given. This is where things get more interesting, and are a bit undefined at this point in time. For now, it might be best to read the code to understand what is available to you. == Generating Documents ????
