XML To Array

[Terry Judd]

So admittedly I have modified Trevor's code a bit (mainly so I don't get the @ symbols associated with parameters but also so that instead of ["someNode[1]"] I get ["someNode"][1],  but for me that XML snippet creates an array that looks like...

["combine"]["class"] = TV_show
["combine"]["sources"]["agent"][1] = com.plexapp.agents.none
["combine"]["sources"]["agent"][2]  = com.plexapp.agents.localmedia

...which seems ok?

    What are you hoping to get out of xml-to-array? Given that keys aren't 
    guaranteed to be unique, I think what you're seeing there makes sense. 
    Otherwise you'll stand the chance of losing data in translation. If you 
    don't convert to a numeric form with a concordance, as Trevor has done, 
    I don't see you you could possibly convert this xml to an array:
    
    <combine class="TV_Show">
         <sources>
             <agent>com.plexapp.agents.none</agent>
             <agent>com.plexapp.agents.localmedia</agent>
         </sources>
    </combine>
