Re: [Flashcoders] Any good XML api out there?
XML2AS is the best one I've found. It's also the fastest. I didn't
write it, but I have included it in my package of data tools.
It creates String objects out of nodes and applies attributes and the
names of the child nodes as array properties.
I have written about it on many occasions on Flashcoders. Search the
archives and you'll find stuff. Here's the compacted version of the
method converted to a static AS2 class (static functions recurse faster).
class net.stevensacks.data.XML2AS
{
public static function parse(n, r) {
var a, d, k;
if (r[k=n.nodeName] == null) r = ((a=r[k]=[{}]))[d=0];
else r = (a=r[k])[d=r[k].push({})-1];
if (n.hasChildNodes()) {
if ((k=n.firstChild.nodeType) == 1) {
r.attributes = n.attributes;
for (var i in k=n.childNodes) XML2AS.parse(k[i], r);
} else if (k == 3) {
a[d] = new String(n.firstChild.nodeValue);
a[d].attributes = n.attributes;
}
}else r.attributes = n.attributes;
}
};

Re: [Flashcoders] Any good XML api out there?
Ever tried XML2Object?
Check it out:
http://www.sephiroth.it/file_detail.php?id=129
The only draw back is if there is only one element it won't put it into
an array but an object. To resolve
this I throw it into an array to unify use:
if(!object.xml_element.length)
{
object.xml_element = new Array(object.xml_element);
}
Ciao,
Rob.

RE: [Flashcoders] Any good XML api out there?
Here's what I use:
My example creates an array containing 3 items. Each item is an object that has
3 properties (vidpath, otherAttribute, description). It creates properties from
the xml attributes and the value of the child nodes.
Given an xml file such as:
Text description
1
Text description
2
Text description
3
The ActionScript:
var flv_data_xml:XML = new XML();
flv_data_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
flv_data_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
var theList:Array = Array();
if (success) {
AllNodeAtts = Array();
for (var theNode:XMLNode = this.firstChild.firstChild; theNode
!= null; theNode=theNode.nextSibling) {
var IndivNodeAtts:Object = new Object();
//create a propertay called "description" and insert
the value of the child node.
IndivNodeAtts.description = theNode.firstChild;
for (attr in theNode.attributes) {
IndivNodeAtts[attr] = theNode.attributes[attr];
}
AllNodeAtts.push(IndivNodeAtts);
}
trace(AllNodeAtts[0].vidpath);
trace(AllNodeAtts[1].otherAttribute);
trace(AllNodeAtts[2].description);
// output:
// video1.flv
// oa2
// Text description 3
} else {
// error loading xml
}
};
flv_data_xml.load("flv_data_example.xml");

Re: [Flashcoders] Any good XML api out there?
Create a Track object which has "name" and "artist"" properties. Write 1 line simple setters and getters and a constructor that takes an XML subtree and extracts the Track detail (This way you can add more to the track without having to touch anyone else.) Create a "root" object that has a list of Track objects and a method getTrack(n) that returns the nth track. The constructor for Root takes the XML as an argument and creates an array of Track Objects by passing in the sub-tree for each track when it finds one in the XML tree. artistName=root.getTrack(2).getArtistName(); Very simple code. Easy to debug and maintain.
