Map datasets to XML and vice-versa

Hi there,

I'm working on a project where the front-end is based on data in XML
files but the server uses standard datasets to store & retrieve data
from the database backend.

The issue is how to exchange data seamlessly between the XML format
and the dataset format.

I'd appreciate your ideas.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, needs conversion
from delphi to lazarus, jansoft easyxml, he has created a dataset and
conversion routines, worth a look anyway.

I don't know what exactly you're after, but TBufDataSet in bufdataset
has an option to load xml files.
I wrote a "PHP Tunnel" - not ready for offical release - with it.
That is, using MySQL queries over TCP Port 80 (Webserver) and getting
an XML-Result, which works with LCL visual components.
Because most ISP's won't open firewall for MySQL Port.

Thanks for the tip. EasyXML looks interesting. I'll give it a closer
look. In addition, I found some routines in the JEDI library for
Delphi. Like EasyXML, it has to be converted from Delphi to Lazarus.
