[Xerte-dev] Re: Next version - XML or JSON

[Pat Lockley]

Run a php XML to object call (relatively simple), then json_encode
that (native function) then echo it out (or print).

If you JSON'ed everything - then there are quite a lot of editors
built for JSON editing, so you could get rid of flash altogether.

How to migrate - same sort of process. Make it optional? I don't see
json as directly enabling new page types, so it wouldn't alter the
provision of pages, just how they are stored.

I'd also wonder if it makes sense to write the new "player" solely within jQuery
