I’m making a soap connection to an external program that will give me  
informatieoon in keyvalue pairs like this manner

email removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid optin1 true

I want to map it on my object that has the same keys I’m doing it like  
this  
@contactInfo.keyValuePairs.each do |kvp|  
@knowington.update\_attribute(kvp.key,kvp.value)  
end

The big drawback is that it will update the object for every key is  
there a better way to deal with this ???
