My question is what is best pratice and how do I parse the incomming XML, the XML look like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<new_account_notification>
  <account>
    <account_code>[e-mail]</account_code>
    <username></username>
    <email>[e-mail]</email>
    <first_name>Verena</first_name>
    <last_name>Test</last_name>
    <company_name></company_name>
  </account>
</new_account_notification>

Thanks…

You can convert the XML to a hash with the Hash.from_xml method, and then work with the resulting hash.

notification_hash = Hash.from_xml(recurly_xml)
