WDDX?
-----Original Message----- From: Jim Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 September 2005 02:18 To: CF-Talk Subject: ANN: Introducing YODEL YODEL (Yet another Open Data Exchange Language) is an XML dialect designed to represent structured data. I've finished (what I consider to be drafts of) the specification and an initial FAQ and posted them here: http://www.depressedpress.com/depressedpress/Content/Development/YODEL/Index ..cfm Before you ask the FAQ has my explanation for why I decided to do this rather than use on of the other, existing options. ;^) Right now there are no posted implementations: I'm nearly completed with the JavaScript implementation (I've got some more testing, but all of the grunt work is done) for both serialization and deserialization. I hope to release this within the next day or two. Then this weekend will be the CF version (probably CFMX or higher only... but I'm not sure). The reason I post the spec before the implementations are done are first to get any feedback on the spec before I work on the code. I'm open to all suggestions and criticism on the subject. Secondly I want to allow anybody that might be interested in doing an implementation to begin working. This would, of course, be VERY welcome. It's not a hugely difficult task (the JavaScript version was perhaps six-eight hours of coding an huge amount of that was figuring out the date and string parsing). I would truly love to see implementations for all other popular platforms (Java, .NET, PHP, ActionScript, PERL, etc) as well as alternative (and perhaps better) CFML and JavaScript versions. So, if you know another language and want a moderate challenge please consider it! I plan to work up a test suite of packets soon to assist with this. But if you're interested in doing an implementation please feel free to write me with any questions you may have. Thanks in advance.
