i would say performance and flexibility are the biggest concerns. Xml is nicely structured and the tree could work easily with ACL, but if you had a 100 records it might slow things down. Also, managing 100 records in an xml file may be annoying.
That said, you could run some tests. I would create the Xml to start, then use the Xml class in libs to parse it in a model. Then you can build up the model around the Xml and tie it into your application. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
