Can anyone recommend a lightweight JavaScript XML-RPC library?
After researching this a while ago, I couldn't find anything I was comfortable with, so I kinda ended up writing my own.
However, maybe that was stupid, as there must be something suitable out there!?
My own pseudo-library is mainly missing a way to turn an XML-RPC response into JSON - or rather, converting the respective responseXML to a JavaScript object (converting the data types as needed).
This isn't hard to do, but why reinvent the wheel...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I know this two libraries, that you can basically use to convert your XML-RPC responses to JSON:
XML to JSON Converter
xml2json.js
This seems to do what you (and I) want:
http://kuriositaet.de/javascript/jsxmlrpc.html
http://kuriositaet.de/javascript/xmlrpc.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsxmlrpc/
Another small XML to JSON (and vice versa) JavaScript library is here -> http://code.google.com/p/x2js/
I could use this too. Generic XML to Json is rather unconvenient for XML-RPC.

my problem is that i need the exact same String for hashing them later on. The first String comes from the javascript object with JSON.stringify, and the second one is a java object, mapped from the JSON.
I need a method to "use" the stringify method on my java object.
All quotes, spaces...need to be exact same because I need the same hashvalue to compare them later on. If someone here has a wink or the same problem, i'll be happy if you share it!! Thanks in advance
i can offer a couple of suggestions if that helps
if you have control over both js and java versions, then normalise the object before json-encoding it (either in both or at least one of them)
try to use a java JSON lib that closely emulates the js version (or vice-versa), eg GSON
write your json-encoder (either in java,js or both), its not that hard
In JavaScript, what's the easiest way to convert a String that holds XML or JSON into an XML/RDF file? I know I will probably have to use String parsing, but has this already been done or is there an easier way? I can find resources online on how to convert to RDF, but nothing about how to do it within JavaScript (IE: http://www.gac-grid.de/project-products/Software/XML2RDF.html) Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
See if rdfquery or rdfparser fits your need, I did not use them and seem very old.
On the client side, we use json-ld
I'm trying to get started with JSON. I've set the link to the JSON.js file using a script link, and I've set my objects using JSON, but it returns no results at all when I try to refer to the object. The JSON doesn't seem to be working at all. If anyone could point me in the right direction it'd be appreciated. I've looked all over the internet and haven't found much to help me.
Thanks guys. The JSON website helped me figure it out
Get Firefox, get Firebug, learn to use it to see what javascript is being loaded, and where the errors are.
Oh, and post some code.
Take a look-see at this
http://json.org/
basically you need to understand that json is a way to stream javascript object literals and arrays from a server to the client (and vice-versa). Open up firebug/webkit and in the console try
var obj = JSON.parse('{"test": 1}')
and you will see that obj is an object literal with a test property.
edit -- note that the link I provided mentions that json is a "is a lightweight data-interchange format" -- so its does not need to be javascript specific. But I think in practice you will get the most mileage using json in conjunction with javascript.
Here's a couple of links that might help:

Is there such a thing as JSON namespaces, just like XML namespaces? Has anyone created a spec or libraries for this? Is this a good or a terrible idea?
I want to make a data spec that can be represented in XML as well as JSON. However I also need the namespace concept, that the data can be extended by annotations in different vocabularies.
To be more specific, this is about representing events. My schema will describe the event in basic terms (time and location), though if you think about it, events can be annotated with different information e.g. attendees or image URLs which I don't want to specify in my schema.
JSON-LD might help :
"JSON-LD (JavaScript Object Notation for Linking Data) is a lightweight Linked Data format that gives your data context."
JSON Schema might be the right thing for this:
http://json-schema.org/
Althought I don't know how well it's implemented.
This is quite an old thread, but there are JSON prefixes, which are almost like namespaces. If you are using Java server-side with Jettison, you can easily meet them.
I'm currently using couchdb to store documents as JSON. One of my clients needs to grab XML (for now). Anyone know any good javascript libraries that can take a javascript object (or json string) and export valid xml?
Thanks!
