[Flashcoders] RE: Better XML parsin
I wrote a class that might be useful to you. Just point it at your XML file and it'll load it and parse it into Arrays/Objects. See the top of the class file for some documentation. It can also reverse parse (dump an object back into XML format). http://www.greensock.com/ActionScript/XMLParser.zip This is the first time I'm making it available to the public, so I welcome comments/suggestions (be kind). It's been working quite well for me for months.

Using for loops seems antiquated. Could I do a while loop and cycle through all the possible nodes? What else is out there for parsing XML in a cleaner fashion?

I've found XFactor Studio's XPath library to be invaluable: http://www.xfactorstudio.com/ In a similar vein, does anyone here use a solid alternative to XML config files, perhaps with server-side object serialization or some such? -rw Flash Mel wrote: Jack - Awesome!

Re: [Flashcoders] RE: Better XML parsin
I've used JSON (http://json.org/) before, not for config files, but for exchanging data between flash, java, and php. It's quite easy to use for someone with actionscript/javascript experience, and there are parsing libraries for most other languages as well. On 8/21/06, R.A.
