Re: [json-lib-user] Order of child elements is switched when converting from json to xml

[Olivier C. <oli...@gm...>]

While we are at it, it would be great if you could also support BadgerFish
(in particular, the possibility to NOT loose the name of elements of a list:

<myList>
  <myElement>xxx</myElement>
  <myElement>yyy</myElement>
</myList>

=> should return myList:{myElement:[xxx,yyy]}

If you can have this, I'm your first fan ;-)

Thanks (and I understand it's complicated to do everything ;-)
