The ONIX standard is a somewhat verbose XML format that is rapidly becoming the industry standard for electronic data sharing in the book and publishing industries.
This library provides a slim layer over the format and simplifies both reading and writing ONIX files in your ruby applications.
This replaces the obsolete rbook-onix gem that was spectacular in its crapness. Let us never speak of it again.
gem install onix

All suggestions and patches welcome, preferably via a git repository I can pull from. To be honest, I'm not really expecting any, this is a niche library.
