Dealing with WDDX-based data

[Toni Geoly <tonigeoly at yahoo dot com>]

Ladies and Gentlemen -

I was wondering how many people were dealing with data sets
that are generated using the WDDX protocol/DTD from
ColdFusion.

(See the DTD here:)

http://www.wddx.org/wddx_dtd.txt

I have been tasked with building a tool to extract query
results from these sets; the raw XML output from a query is
outputted in the following manner (example has a result of
four record sets):

<field name="field1">
     <string>row1</string>
     <string>row2</string>
     <string>row3</string>
     <string>row4</string>
</field>
<field name="field2">
     <string>row1</string>
     <string>row2</string>
     <string>row3</string>
     <string>row4</string>
</field>
<field name="field3">
     <string>row1</string>
     <string>row2</string>
     <string>row3</string>
     <string>row4</string>
</field>

Are people working directly with this data, or instead
using xsl:copy/xsl:copy-of to build new trees that are a
bit more user-friendly?  I've started working with the raw
data, but it seems to me that the XML is not as intuitively
logical (i.e. - readable by a human) as it should be.

Thanks for any input - respond to the list or privately.
