XML to Array

[dragonballs2]

I am having trouble finding a function that converts XML to a multidimensional array. I'll appreciate your input, please.

you could use the DomParser. to extract values from the xml. From there you could build up your array.
something like

var xml = getxml();
var doc = parser.parseFromString(xml, "text/xml");
var elements = doc.getElementsByTag('name of tag');

var array = new Array();
for(var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++)
{
   array.push(elements[i].innerHtml);
}

a library like jquery would make this even easier

var xml = getxml();
var array = new Array();
$(xml).each(function(i, e){
  array.push($(e).val());
});
