[...] The conversion follows the convention set by BadgerFish. I didn’t handle namespaces though. [...]

My english is very bad, but I believe that the communication can be established…

I developed a JSON – XML translator in Javascript and, to do that with BadgerFish, i found some difficulties.
There is no orientation to work with comments or CDATA sections…
I didn’t find anything about it, because of that i used arbitrarily the characters “!” for comments and ” #” for CDATA sections, besides implementing the suggestion to the text fragments in $1, $2, … properties.

The script was not very tested, but it looks good. Works well.

Jeremy — you actually can’t have an attribute named “xmlns” (or, that is, if you did, it has to be what’s setting the namespace). And if you had a child element named ‘xmlns’, it wouldn’t collide with the attribute — the attribute is “@xmlns” while the child element is “xmlns”.

Jon — the convention on translation from XML to JSON is language neutral. You are right, however, that so far libraries have only been written (that I am aware of) for PHP and Ruby. I have been noodling around with a Javascript version as well, but I need to fix a few IE-specific bugs in it before it’s ready for release.

It looks like this is only for PHP and Ruby users. If it was a Javascript library it would be server-language neutral, right?

Would it be too much to ask that the magick xmlns attribute not pollute the “normal” attribute namespace?

I could have an element named xmlns, couldn’t I?

How about normal attribs get prefixed with “@”, while namespaces get prefixed with “:”?

Does it have an option to NOT emit the namespace stuff? I can’t imagine a javascript client application really using that in a real world way
