Hi ,

I am doing XML parsing to get data from xml documents inside a Rails  
project. I get my job done but there are too many warnings in between.I  
dont understand how can i avoid this.  
the error warnings are :

warning: Passing no parameters to XML::Parser.new is deprecated. Pass  
an instance of XML::Parser::Context instead.  
XML::Parser#string is deprecated. Use XML::Parser.string instead

I am using Libxml for parsing.Can anyone please provide some help in  
this regards?
