Introducing E4X (XML.com)
Kurt Cagle
introduces EAX on O'Reilly's XML.com.
"ECMAscript for XML (more colloquially known as E4X) has had comparatively limited success of adoption in the face of the power of JSON, I suspect partially because of a general ambivalence that the JavaScript community has towards working with XML, but more so because there is comparatively little out there describing how best to take advantage of the features that E4X offers.
E4X is an extension to JavaScript that is available to both Firefox and ActionScript developers that turns XML into a native data type on par with strings, arrays, objects, and regular expressions."
