Turn XML strings into hash/array structures. Handy for e.g. parsing an RSS feed or passing your data back and forth between Unity and your server in XML.
Download UnityScript XML Parser
Usage:
parser=new XMLParser();
var node=parser.Parse("<example><value type=\"String\">Foobar</value><value type=\"Int\">3</value></example>");
Nodes are Boo.Lang.Hash values with text content in "_text" field, other attributes in "@attribute" and any child nodes listed in an array of their nodename.
any XML meta tags <? .. ?> are ignored as are comments <!-- ... -->
any CDATA is bundled into the "_text" attribute of its containing node.
e.g. the above XML is parsed to:
node={ "example":
[
{ "_text":"",
"value": [ { "_text":"Foobar", "@type":"String"}, {"_text":"3", "@type":"Int"}]
}
],
"_text":""
}
So to get the type of the second <value> tag you'd
use: var val=node["example"][0]["value"][1]["@type"];
If running in strict mode the above needs to be:
var val=((((node["example"] as Array)[0] as Hashtable)["value"] as Array)[1] as Hashtable)["@type"];
Which isn't the prettiest, so there are three helper methods.
First make sure node is cast to XMLNode:
var node:XMLNode=parser.Parse(...);
Then you can use:
var val:String=node.GetValue("example>0>value>1>@type");
var arr:XMLNodeList=node.GetNodeList("example>0>value");
var hash:XMLNode=node.GetNode("example>0>value>1");
XMLNodeList is a subclass of Array and can be treated as an Array, XMLNode is a subclass of
Boo.Lang.Hash and can be treated as such.
This doesn't do any validation or XML construction, it's just an XML->Object parser. Namespaces are just handled as if the : is part of the name (so if you have a <foo:bar> element it's just listed as "foo:bar"). It's also going to create a big structure in memory if you have a big XML file, so it won't be suitable for everything.

Imports JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) into a UnityScript Hashtable of hashes/arrays.
Usage:
var hash=JSON.ParseJSON(jsonString);
e.g.
var hash=JSON.ParseJson("{ test:\"thing\", an_array:[ \"one\",\"two\",\"three\"]}");
Debug.Log(hash["test"]);
Decidedly under-tested.
