The format I prefer is arrays since I can store any type of data in them without worrying it the data contains a tab, etc. I think working with XML via the revXML API is kind of a pain so I wrote some routines to perform the conversion between array and XML. I use them all of the time when working with web services. I grab the XML data from the website and then convert to an array for use within LiveCode. When posting data back I create an array, pass it through the converter and then send it off to the web service. Last week I posted a stack with the handlers to RevOnline. Perhaps they will be of help. http://revonline2.runrev.com/stack/571/XMLAndArrays -- Trevor DeVore Blue Mango Learning Systems ScreenSteps: http://www.screensteps.com LiveCode Resources for Developers: http://livecode.bluemangolearning.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
