I have found no magic bullet to convert XML to JSON.
I started building an Ajax project where I was serving my data as XML
and ran into the same IE vs Firefox problems. After bashing my head
against the wall for a few days I gave up on using Prototype to fetch
my XML and did it the old fashioned way:
if (document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument)
{
var parser=new DOMParser();
xmlDoc=parser.parseFromString('',"text/xml");
xmlDoc.load('data.xml');
x=setTimeout('loadForm()',500)
//pray that the xml loads in 500 ms.
//loadForm() is my function to parse the XML
}
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
xmlDoc.onreadystatechange = function () {
if (xmlDoc.readyState == 4) loadForm()
};
xmlDoc.load('data.xml');
}
Because that was a really ugly solution, I decided to scrap the XML
method and re-wrote my server code to spit out JSON instead. It was
elegant, my client code was smaller, faster and easier to read. I'm
never going back to XML.
