E4X Parsing Tool
posted on Sep 08, 2008 / tags: flex, software, e4x, air

I’ve been working on a new product that is soon to be released, and I found that I was constantly working on trying to figure out my E4X problems in Flex.  So I wrote up a quick Air app that makes testing a bit easier.  I thought I’d share it… so here you go.

In case you don’t have it, you’ll need to install the Adobe Air runtime.  You can get it here.  I hope someone else out there can use it.  Let me know what you think.

How do you use it? Do you have an example. How do you get the root?

Matt if you install the AIR app, and run it, you'll see a text box on the top that you can enter the XML you want to parse. The middle text box is for the E4X statement. If you type the string in there, the bottom box will display your result. Hope this helps.

Hi! Thanks for the app - it is much easier to write E4X expressions with it!

would be cool if this just worked in the browser, then I'd not have to install anything.

(I meant to add, that it does work well, though.)

Fantastic, many thanks! I knew there had to be something like this out there.

Its cool that it doesn't require a browser, because like millions of other users I have AIR 2.0 installed.
