Well Jeff, I know that XML support in CFMX is not as robust as it could be.
I built a number of custom tags for use in CF5 that I still work with today to get around that. While I am not in a position to share them, Robi Sen of Granularity wrote some excellent tutorials on implementing XML support in CF5 that (when extended) give you a LOT of control similar to what expat and Gnome provide developers. I do agree with you that .NET gives you most of this functionality natively, tho.

I've been working .NET for the past 3 months. I'm amazed at how much control you have over certain things. I think when it comes to creating XML, it beats ColdFusion hands down. I had to write some code to migrate legacy data into a new system, and I must say that it was about 100 times quicker than similar ColdFusion code I had written. I was able to perform all the translation in memory and then submit all 3000+ rows to the database in one swoop. In this case, .NET was much quicker than CF would have been. CF is easier for 90% of web development tasks, though. Sometimes I'm amazed at how difficult some of the most common tasks are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
