Actually, isn't WDDX just an implementation of XML? That is, if you use WDDX, you're using XML.
Not to split hairs, but that's how I see it. And, if you use WDDX you have the parsers for other languages, too: PHP, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Love [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 9:58 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: WDDX Because not everybody knows XML... +-----------------------------------------------+ Bryan Love Macromedia Certified Professional Internet Application Developer Database Analyst Telecommunication Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-----------------------------------------------+ "...'If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace'..." - Thomas Paine, The American Crisis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 9:53 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: WDDX I'm not sure if this is OT or not but here goes... Why would I use WDDX instead of just using straight XML? -there are SEVERAL good parsers out there. -The javascript that it takes to create the "packets" is not that complex. -The "packets" aren't really any kind of packets their just strings that are parsed...XML? and more... I actually am interested in using it and I have no direct quams with using WDDX but why would I use it when we have an XML framework already built for other applications?
