[Xerte] Re: Converting an object to xml

[Julian Tenney]

I don't think you're going to get bi-directional because

<node att="value"> is node[0].att and <node><att>value</att></node> is node[0].att

What I was hoping to achieve was a bi-directional capability i.e.

you could go back and forth, perhaps creating your initial object from xml data, then modify the object in a page, then save it out as xml again. Then the next time you load the page you have the option of restoring a your previously saved data.

Kind regards

Good question. No, not currently. Have a look for a prototype extension and I can build it in if it does what you want: it would probably not create attributes, rather full nodes for each value, and it would have to make some assumptions when naming things I think:

<object>
  <property>value</property>
  <array>
    <item>value</item>
    ....
  </array>
...
</object>

Xerte has the myXML.toObject() method that will construct an object from xml data.

Is there an easy way to go in the other direction and convert an object into XML data?

Kind regards
