Non rails style format of XML response how to parse with ActiveResource correctly?

Using Rails and ActiveResource i am getting non-rails style of XML response form third-party API. Object which i like to map is basically wrapped in prestahop element. What should i override to get rid of that element to map the object correctly?

<prestashop xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
<order>
    <id></id>

I have a few external services where I have to talk non-rails style api. I'm using combination of Savon gem to make SOAP requests and parse SOAP responses, and Roxml gem to map actual XML into ruby objects.

You should use custom formatter for your needs, something like this may be good solution.

class PrestaXMLFormatter
  include ActiveResource::Formats::XmlFormat

  def decode(xml)
    ActiveResource::Formats::XmlFormat.decode(xml)['prestashop']
  end
end

class Order < ActiveResource::Base
  self.format = PrestaXMLFormatter.new
end
