When working with XML I find it best to bring in the XML document and then add the data to new objects so they can be easily referenced later. Previously I have done this by hard-coding the node names when I parse the XML and add the appropriate data to a property in my new custom object, allowing me to state what type of data it is, array, string, etc. I would really like a way to do this dynamically, so when I parse the XML it detects whether the node has children and makes an array, etc. Something was done by XML2Object in AS2.
Thanks,
