Yeh, with our new XML toolkit (finished and due out tomorrow), you can query
the XML document direct, for the relevant information, and recieve a CF
query back. A query can be XPath, or even SQL! There is even an XMLSubset
tag which will select certain nodes from the source document, (using an
XPath), and create a new XML document. All these tags have inbuilt caching
capabilities to further increase speed on servers.
The problem with converting an XML document to a structure, is extra
overhead, much better to work from the XML document direct.
Here's a quick sample of code, using the new Torchbox XML Toolkit tags:
====================
<CF_XMLDatasource Name="Person">
<people>
<person gender = "male" age = "25" county = "sussex">tom</person>
<person gender = "female" age = "28" county =
"cornwall">sofia</person>
<person gender = "male" age = "30" county = "oxon">bob</person>
<person gender = "male" age = "30" county = "oxon">dave</person>
</people>
</CF_XMLDataSource>
<CF_XMLQuery Datasource="Person" Name="qryAllMales">
//person[@gender='male']
</CF_XMLQuery>
<CFOUTPUT Query="qryAllMales">
#person# (#person_age#)<br>
</CFOUTPUT>
==================
OUTPUT:
tom (25)
bob (30)
dave (30)
