No, WDDX is just an XML language, so it can be deserialized by other programs. There are (or were at least) WDDX libraries for several languages, available at openwddx.org, if I recall correctly. > Or, if I want to save it in a file, I could serialize it with > cfwddx, save the serialized string in a file. > To get it back I would read the file, deserialize it and > poof, I have the original structure. Yeah? Yes, that's it. That was why I suggested it; my understanding of your original question was that you wanted to save a complex structure locally. However, if you have the original XML, you might as well just save that.
