> Thanks. What's eden?

eden is a serializer/deserializer based on a subset of JavaScript

you could compare it to JSON, but eden goes a little further

see the features
http://code.google.com/p/edenrr/wiki/edenFeatures

mainly, you can have multiple leaf, json got only one as an object structure
you can call methods on object, not in json
you can use custom type, not in json
you have 2 scope, local scope and global scope

so imagine you have some property living
in some.test.myProp

eden can find it in the script
"
var a = some.test.myProp;
"

but eden is not a full blown parser, it will not parse function
definition for ex,
or if/else logic

cheers,
