Hi Anuj,

Hope your weekend is going well. Still look like you might have time to work on this today?

Hi Anuj,

I spent the entire day trying to make the change. I put displays in all over the place and still can’t quite follow the logic.

If you’re able to make the change this weekend, I’d greatly appreciate your help.

Hi Dave, Sorry I have just got back online. I am afraid I wont have any time before the weekend. But it should be a pretty simple change to do and you can give it a shot and try doing it yourself meanwhile. Otherwise I will have a look during the weekend sometime.

Hi Anuj,

I hate to ask because I know that you’re doing me a favor, but is there any chance you might be able to make the modification to the code today? If it doesn’t look like you’ll be able to get to it, I’ll have to figure something else out. My project needs to be done by the morning. Just thought I would ask to see if you might have time.

Thanks!

Dave

Anuj,

Thanks, I appreciate it. Your code will solve a problem on a project I’m working on. Really appreciate your sharing your work.

Hi Dave, That should be easy to change. I will have a look and get back. Give me a couple of days though.

Hi Anuj,

Brad posted this awhile back:

“Hello Anuj,

Thanks for the awesome .cfc!

I have a quick question. Suppose you have an array inside a struct which only has one element. By default it appears that your function will turn that array into a struct within a struct. Is it possible to force it to make an array within a struct, even though that array has only one element?”

I have run into the same need. The inconsistency caused by it creating an array within a stuct followed by a struct within a struct makes it hard to use the output. Any chance you can modify this to always create an array within a struct even though the stuct may only have 1 element?

Thanks for the great code!

Works perfect for a quick way to consume an XML webservice then turn around and return a JSON object.

Thanks Anuj! I’m not smart enough to figure it out, but I was thinking that somehow how you could program it so that if you use a preset node name, that it would automatically make it an array. For example,

this will be an array

So, if someone uses “arelement” (or something similar), then the function would process that as an array.

This is just a thought.

Thanks again!!
