[Laszlo-user] xpath parser for javascript

[André Bargull]

Hi Camilo,

I've started extending XPath-Support in OpenLaszlo, but that won't be at 
the same level as in "xpathjs".
Btw, I do know another product which may help to extend XPath-Support in 
OpenLaszlo, see "http://xfactorstudio.com/".
BUT, the most important thing, before porting anything to OpenLaszlo: 
how good is the performance of these XPath-Processors?
Because I don't think it makes sense to have full XPath-Support, when it 
costs too much, that means, when user applications slow down enormously.
I can port one of these XPath-Processors to OpenLaszlo, if that question 
has been resolved. So, someone needs to make thorough performance tests 
and report the results to laszlo-dev (maybe also laszlo-user), so we can 
decide whether it is worth to port one of them to OpenLaszlo, or if we 
need to stay we our self-baked XPath-Processor.
Any other thoughts on this topic? (And what about the license? Is it 
compatible?)
