Hmm, I disagree, soXML is however a bag of s**t. Try cf_XMLParser from http://www.cfdev.com It's a java cfx and uses the xerces xml parser.

Re: soXML - Flawed
Loading and saving is something cffile does pretty well. XML is a
string, cfset does a pretty good job of changing it. Why do you need a
parser even?
FYI: MsXML can load and save files fine as well.
objXMLDOM = CreateObject("COM", "msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
objXMLDOM.async = false;
objXMLDOM.load("c:\path\foo.xml");
writeOutput(objXMLDom.xml);
objXMLDOM.save("c:\path\bar.xml");

RE: soXML - Flawed
Just curious here, but why not WDDX. We are just beginning to explore using XML to bring some data into CF, and it seemed to me that WDDX was the perfect answer. In our case the XML is generated by an internal server, which I grab with CFHTTP and then use WDDX to create a query set for further manipulation and display. Being new to XML, I don't know if WDDX is "good or bad" but it does work. Are there pitfalls or concerns that I am missing here?

Re: soXML - Flawed
Everything previous to MX that I did that involved XML I do with
MSXML. I've got lots of examples, ups and usps among them, but I don't
know if they would be applicable. I'm still not sure why you need a
parser...
If all you need to do is load an file from the HD, edit it, and save
the results, and you have total control over the format of the file
wddx may work perfectly for you.
Saying COM is heavy on the server is a over generalizing it to the
point of it being FUD. A hello world com object is going to be pretty
fast no matter if it was programmed by the latest VB hack to get their
MCSE or a C++ veteran. MSXML would be one of the heavier COM objects
though.

RE: soXML - Flawed
I used it without problems. the application Downloaded an XML file and parsed it using soXML. Not a single complaint other than slowness, which is why I eventually just went directly to the COM object. I wouldn't call it useless by any stretch. It got us up and parsing in now time, and gave us time to create our own solution in the interim. J.

Re: soXML - Flawed
Yeah - soXML does a great job, if you're importing XML or exporting XML. However, if you import XML with soXML into a struct, do some processing with that struct, then write the struct back out to an XML file then things start to go a bit squirlley soXML always wants to add a rootname, even if the struct already has one. soXML creates a struct variable called "value" with the contents from between open/close tags. When soXML writes the XML back it creates a nested tag called VALUE within your XML tags, therefore invalidating your XML. eg. Content becomes myTag.value = "Content" becomes Content To add to that soXML doesn't seem to handle node type 2 (attributes) eg. attr1 appears to go missing during import Not much, but enough to be troublesome.
