Rhino 1.6 uses xmlbeans

[Kevin Krouse <kk...@bea.com>]

I just noticed that Rhino (Mozilla's JavaScript engine) has a new RC
candidate release which uses xmlbeans to do it's new native xml
handling.  http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/download.html

I can tell you from experience that this is very cool stuff.  xml
becomes a native type:

var customer = <customer>
  <name>Bob</name>
  <pet type="dog">Rover</pet>
  <pet type="cat">Socks</pet>
</customer>;

// returns 'xml'
print(typeof customer);

// set the value inside <name>
customer.name = "Sally";

// change Rover's species
customer.pet.@type = "Iguana";

// get all pets that are 'cat' or 'dog'
var y = customer.pet.(@type == "cat" || @type == "dog")


There's lots more interesting examples:

I'm not sure how or if the Rhino can use any of the compiled schemas
other than just as a Java class.
