I just noticed that the changes to XML using XML.conversion broke my app. I have an optimization where I subclass XML and override toString and toXMLString so there’s no need to create, parse and convert many parts of XML which don’t need that.
I call it StringXML. This code: strArr.push(XML.conversion(this._children[i])._toXMLString(nextIndentLevel, declarations.concat(ancestors))); causes my instance to go through XML.conversion and ends up with this: return new XML(xml); where xml is a StringXML. That obviously does not work. What is the purpose of calling conversion on an XML node? That’s caused by strArr.push(XML(_children[i])._toXMLString(nextIndentLevel,declarations.concat(ancestors))); The compiler changes XML to XML.conversion. I don’t understand why that change was made. The code originally looked like: strArr.push(_children[i].toXMLString(nextIndentLevel,ancestors.concat(declarations))); Greg, any input?
