I'm moving an as3 prototype into processing as all my tests seem to show the render engine betters flash, despite everything I've read. I was really disappointed at processing's native XML functionality but JAXB has solved some problems. I worked through Toxi's tutorial and extended it out with experimentation but now I'm stumped...
I've got a stack of data and need to be able to target specific nodes / elements based on an ID or a string… everything I've read suggests this can be done without traversing the whole dataset. In as3 it was as easy as:
xmlData.objects.type.(@id==reference);
I'm not expecting a like-for-like solutions -- I'd love one! -- but any pointers here would be smashing. I'm diving into processing head first and loving it, but this is really key.
