XML Commander


How about that, a near commercial javascript widget in a few weeks. It is the XML/WebSQL utility of all time.

Basics: 
Using WebSql and xmlHttpRequest, XML Commander provides a cannonical flat form that maintains the nesting order, of the xml Dom tree obtained from a get. It stores by tag, and maintains the links and values.

A simple widget, built around datalists, includes a tiny library to manage the options. Drop down command window. Is in pre-alpha, but looking quite solid.

The target are ad hoc users who jump on xml formats of the moment. This is a simple tool that helps connect document publisher and xml via the SQL syntax. And includes an SQL input window.
