using e4x to retrieve xml from Flex webservice result handler

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to use e4x to retrieve xml from the result event thrown when my Flex webservice is successful.

This is a snippet of the returned xml

<p430:getRoomsResponse xmlns:p430="http://impl.service.com"&gt;
 <p430:getRoomReturn type="p888:Room" xmlns:p888="http://vo.room.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"&gt;    <p888:roomName>  ABC
    </p888:roomName>
    <p888:roomSize>
      200sqft
    </p888:roomSize>

The full xml contains approx 40 of these "ROOM" types containing roomname,size etc.

I want to create a collection containing a list of the 40 room objects based on the xml above.

How can I map the objects from my xml to an object using e4x?

The purpose is to display the objects in a datagrid

Thanks

Create an XMLListCollection based on your XML and use that as the dataprovider. This might be the simplest way. I don't know of any XML -> JSON converters offhand, besides writing a manual one yourself. (e.g., iterate all your rooms and build your object by hand. )
