Comment #62 on issue 235 by [email protected]: Support the Javascript
E4X extension
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=235
I have a few concerns that I would like to post about E4X.
1. It would require adding a XML system to the Javascript if you use
embedded v8 (and a large number of use cases of V8 are embedded).
2. It is a little bit of a cluster grammatically(reusing [<>] in places can
be a nightmare: like an if statement).
3. It presents an interesting bias to do things with E4X when E4X is not
widely supported (I compare this to the XPath problems in the browser where
XPath users bias for XPath but it is not supported very well).
Perhaps if this could be an extension to V8 somehow instead of built in (in
such a way that chrome could use it)?
