Hi, I need to use XML and JSON outputs for an API that I program for a project that has a web backend and multiple mobile clients.
The Javascript helper with Cake works just fine, but the XML Helper is full of bugs. I posted the initial problem here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/e63ebbe1c5c710a6/43a4b4da7d9b3bac?lnk=gst&q=xml#43a4b4da7d9b3bac and openend a ticket for it here: http://code.cakephp.org/tickets/view/79 But unfortunately haven't heard back so far. There are other issues with the XML Helper that should be resolved as reported here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/c66649159a9739b7/586b6bd6727ca874?lnk=gst&q=xml#586b6bd6727ca874 and here: http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/6f023e991cc2f038/d9b809e3d0a4bba3?lnk=gst&q=xml#d9b809e3d0a4bba3 Overall I have to conclude that the Cake XML helper currently unfortunately cannot be used to produce valid XML! This is a major flaw of the CakePHP framework and given the fact that there are a lot of different (working) XML parsers for PHP out there nothing that should be difficult to resolve. I'm currently thinking about switching to a different parser myself, because these issues have been here for a while and still no news. Don't get me wrong - I think CakePHP is great and love to use it, but XML is THE standard data interchange format and I think Cake shouldn't lower it's guard by not supporting it fully and correctly.
