All of the standard programming environments on the Web (ColdFusion,
Perl, ASP, Java, JavaScript, PHP, etc) include native data structures
such as arrays, recordsets or value pairs. WDDX provides a module for
each language that will automatically serialize or translate the
native data structures into an abstract representation in XML, or
deserialize WDDX XML into a native data structure. For example, you
could use WDDX to take a complex array in ColdFusion, serialize it
into XML, send it to an ASP server, and then deserialize from XML into
a VBScript array object with all the types natively converted. This
conversion process between languages is relatively transparent to
developers by shifting any XML processing and interaction into the
WDDX modules, eliminating developers from having to directly program
or manipulate XML themselves.
