JXON - A little update loads of documentation
I have updated my lightweight JXON library right now, lightly improving them, and adding a consistent documentation for each method as well.
At this point, the last thing I could do about JXON, is to talk about what exactly is, and what is not at all.
Indeed, JXON aim is to be easily integrated inside your library, or your own code.
You do not necessary need a JSON parser, but every famous client library has one, so you can still perform client / server interactions using that parser, if necessary, and putting JXON between the evaluated result, and the layout.
The load method principal aim is to assign the public xml property that will be the JXON XML node you need to transform. This means that you have no options to change both its syncronous nature, or to use them to send POST parameters, it is NOT Ajax, but you can use every kind of library or code to perform these tasks putting JXON, again, between these interactions and your automatically updated layout portion.
Finally, thanks to JXON, you could focus entirely about data, instead of data plus its layout representation, delegating latter task to one of the most related languages to do that: XSL, a dedicated markup template engine transformer.
JXON - In line JavaScript to XSLT Example Page
P.S. Above link uses an object instead of a regular layout, and of course, even if when you look at that extremely light page (1.24 kB without gzip), Google and generally every kind of search engine, is able to read those information.

JXON IS
- An intermediate, well defined, layer between native JavaScript variables, and a generic page content (their representation inside the layout)
- A fast and cross-browser JS to XML, and vice-versa, parser
- A human comprehensive way to represent JavaScript Object Notation via XML using a natural, lightweight, and unambiguous, schema, that will make XSL files creation, manipulation, and maintenance, more clear and natural than ever, working over both XPath, and semantic data types nodes with optional keys for object members
- A simple and crossbrowser global object, with few methods to transform JavaScript raw data into a valid (x)HTML layout page, or portion
- An advanced, XSLT based, enterprise ready way to represent data in a generic browser, with possibility to re-use thousands of time the same XSL file, or choose which one should be loaded for that browser (device browser indipendent)
JXON is NOT
- A JSON parser
- An Ajax library
- A template Engine
