def serialize(options = {})
  hash = super()

  if options[:root] == true
    root_option = {:root => @record.class.model_name.element}
  elsif options[:root]
    root_option = {:root => options[:root]}
  else
    root_option = {}
  end
  opts = remove_serializer_class_options(options).merge(root_option)

  hash.to_xml(opts)
end

#serialize_in(xml_string, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Takes a record’s attributes represented in XML, and returns a hash suitable for direct assignment to the record’s collection of attributes. For example:

s = Delineate::AttributeMap::XmlSerializer.new(record, :api)
record.attributes = s.serialize_in(xml_string)
