ECMA Approves ECMAScript for XML (E4X)

Continued refinement of this standard ensures our developers are able to use a very familiar language for building rich Internet applications."
ActionScript is based on ECMAScript. ECMAScript is adding this cool new XML functionality. Hmm...

e4x is a fantastic technology.

Seppia is a simple framework to build and deploy any java application.
It gains from the sinergy of java and javascript and a minimum set of clear rules to organize their interaction.
