XML-to-JSON convertor and remapper
After much hair-pulling and cursing, my XML-to-JSON convertor and remapper is finally here.
The real power behind this plugin is its ability to not only convert but also REMAP your data on the fly. There are other plugins out there that handle conversion, but I've not seen any that also remap.
This has the potential to be hugely useful.
Imagine you're using a news ticker that requires JSON data (for the headlines, URLs etc), but you want to populate it with data from an XML feed you don't have control over, and whose property names and hierarchical structure is different from what your ticker needs:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
but you need
1{
2 one: 'foo',
3 two: 'bar',
4 three: 'foobar'
5}
...so not only a conversion but also a structural change. You can achieve that with this plugin.

post a commentTable sorter: toggling sort direction
A quick thanks to Saul, who took an interest in my table sort script and developed a way to toggle the sort direction when a column heading is re-clicked. That is, the first time it's clicked the table column is sorted in ascending order; if clicked again, in descending order.
For full details, check out Saul's comment on the script page over here.
