[Pixlib] XMLToObject

[Cédric Néhémie]

Tell me if i'm wrong :

Here the code in revision 19, for each node in the root node you get 
object's name with name attribute or nodename if no name attribute. If 
name already exist you get one unique name based on current name.
Then you get type from attributes but if there's no type you define it 
as xml2o. And if it's an xml2o type the data is set with the entire 
node, else you use nodeValue (witch return null if nodes only contains 
subnodes) so you can't browse for children node...

 public function deserializeData(oXML:XMLNode, oL) : Object
    {
        var o:Object = new Object();
        for (var x = 0; x < oXML.childNodes.length; x++)
        {
            var sName:String = oXML.childNodes[x].attributes.name;
            if (sName == undefined) sName = oXML.childNodes[x].nodeName;
                   
            if ( o[sName] )
            {
                Logger.LOG( "XMLToObject parsed two nodes with identical 
names : '" + sName + "'.", LogLevel.WARN);
                sName = _getUniquePropName(o, sName);
            }
           
            o[sName] = {};
                  
            var sType:String = oXML.childNodes[x].attributes.type;
            if (sType == undefined) sType = "xml2o";
            o[sName]["varType"] = sType;
            o[sName]["data"] = (sType != "xml2o") ? 
oXML.childNodes[x].firstChild.nodeValue : oXML.childNodes[x];

        }
       
        for(var p:String in o) _oDeserializer.deserialize(oL, p, 
o[p].varType, o[p].data, this);
        return oL;
    }
