You can convert an XML string to JSON, store it, and then when you need it reconvert it to XML if you really need to, but unless you're doing things with E4X that is probably unnecessary. There are several libraries for a number of different languages to work with JSON, a lot of languages have the functionality built in, for AS3 you can use the as3 core lib or you can use this: http://www.thanksmister.com/index.php/archive/json-lite/ Taka On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 3:03 PM, Matt Perkins <nudoru.m...@gmail.com> wrote: > Wondering if someone has had this problem and found a good solution ... > > I've developed a social simulation that has a lot of data that i need to > save between user sessions in the suspend_data SCORM variable to our LMS. > I'm formatting this data as XML since 1, has a good structure and 2, i know > it.
