This is better. The arrays are much more efficient, and I cut the code
by more than half. I know, I know JSON, I will get there, this is
teaching me way more though. I still would like to be able to
determine my level of nesting abstractly, and also getting out non-
standard attributes.
BTW processed over 50K lines in ~5seconds no errors.
function parseXml(xml) {
$(xml).find('sites').each(function(){
var PARENTarr = jQuery.makeArray($(this).find
('>element'));
var CHILDarr = jQuery.makeArray($(PARENTarr).find
('>element'));
$.each(PARENTarr, function(i){
var PfromA = $(this);
var Pid = $(this).attr
("label")+$(this).attr("id");
var Cid = $(CHILDarr
[i]).attr("label");
$("div").append("<br/
