Comment #54 on issue 235 by renat.zubairov: Support the Javascript E4X extension
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=235
I would agree with iamanthropic. XML sucks but it's there and we need a support for it. Right now we are evaluating usage of JavaScript in the data integration area, say using REST-based APIs e.g. from Amazon AWS. Great deal of JavaScript for us - it is available everywhere, in browser, on the server side. And we like the V8 with it's great deal on speed and combination with node.js. However the major factor is Amazon AWS does not speak JSON ;) same is for Salesforce. Google Data API are available as JSON but it's more like JSON tunneling of ATOM XML structures, which really sucks too! There is an obvious need to support "legacy" XML, wherever it E4X or anything else, I don't really care, but examples I saw on E4X are quite impressive.
