Hi MooTools pals. This time I bring you a script I wrote by need, this will convert XML to an Object.
The difference between mine and others out there on the web, is that most of those are based on reading the XML file as a plain text, hence, it depends the way you write it, even, in some cases those could crash if you leave a blank space (to organize your XML). Mine, is based on the XMLHttpRequest protocol, also based on W3 guidelines (you can read from here link). I traverse the XML DOM (you may compare it to traverse a HTML DOM) while doing the convertion and implementing a recursive function to traverse it (hoping this will improve a lot the perfomance of the script). Also keeping it small and simple to use :D Posted at Forums: http://www.mooforum.net/script-showcase-f25/xml-object-converter-t4100.html The next step is add it to MooGooMaps with the intention of let persons with almost none effort have their google maps with markers and funny stuff done from a simple XML document. Example: a node like <Marker title="marker title" lat="10" lng="20" html="HTML to display inside an InfoWindow" /> in your xml will tell MooGooMaps to make a marker with those properties the same way it will be implemented in others script I have. I'd be glad to receive any feedback from you, thanks. Best regards, Ciul.
