first off -- what is it that you want to do with wddx? the <!DOCTYPE...
header seems to be out of place here. typically, if you're serving up a
page as wddx content, you don't want anything but the packet itself (makes
it easier on the application making request).
wddx is NOT a replacement for HTML code. it is a way to format your data
in a standard way so that it can be exchanged between different
applications and environments. i can't think of any situation where you'd
want to output a wddx directly to the end-user.
could you be more explicit with what your goal is? or are you just
experimenting with wddx to see what it is? the simple answer to the last
question is that the wddx engine eliminates the tedious task of writing
parser code for situations where you want/need to transfer data, usually in
the case of serving data to another machine (like another webserver). say
that webserver uses <CFHTTP> to request some data from another webserver
which responds with a wddx packet so that the calling webserver only has to
use the built-in CF wddx parser to get the data it needs.
that's what i use it for anyways. an example of a system i built that uses
wddx is:
http://myneighborhoodbb.com21.com
every form submission on that site actually parses the form data then sends
form data to another server (that in turn communicates with about 8+ cable
internet service providers via form posts and wddx) which in turn responds
to the webserver with a wddx packet which is parsed and then the end-user
response page is built from the parsed data.
the site would have been hellah tedious without wddx. (actually it still
was, but it coulda been worse...)
