I'm building an MVC framework and I'm making sure XML is NOT a part of it. I don't think there's anything wrong with using XML or not, I think you can build something well with or without it, it's down to preference. RoR doesn't use it and that's one of the reasons I love it. If I put in static configuration files, I'd probably use JSON before I used XML. -TM ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Todd Cullen *Sent:* Saturday, March 24, 2007 11:18 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* [Reactor for CF] XML Configuration Files Quick Question (or maybe not that quick): Why do most of the ColdFusion frameworks around use XML configuration files rather than providing methods to build the required data structure in ColdFusion? Something in line with what RoR does. Have programmers, more experienced that I, found XML configs are more flexible in the long run? Or perhaps they're just easier to setup at the beginning? I'm building an MVC framework and I've been trying to avoid the "XML situps" at all cost. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Sorry for the off topic post but most of the active contributors on this listserv are very insightful.
