Is there a way to easily serialize form input into xml or yaml for database storage?

I am dealing with an old app in asp classic vbscript. I'd like to store the input of a form in a database text field as the form fields are a subject to frequent change and I don't feel like normalizing the old database.

Any solutions for serialization in vbscript?

Thank you!

+1 A:

Try and use the Form collection.

Request.Form

ProTip - parse data into xml format. Then you have many more options for using the data.

What is your recommendation of a classic ASP or JScript library that will dump to XML and then parse XML? That's exactly what I'm looking for.

This should point you in the right direction and provide some sample script:http://www.asp101.com/articles/michael/htmlxml/

Thank you, this is the best from all I've seen so far.
