is there a reason of using `jquery.xml2json`?

doedje / jquery.soap

This script uses $.ajax to send a SOAP:Envelope. It can take XML DOM, XML string or JSON as input and the response can be returned as either XML DOM, XML string or JSON too.

Is there a reason of using jquery.xml2json? jquery.xml2json blocks from using latest jquery because of "dependencies" : { "jquery": "1.11" } in xtreemrage/jquery.xml2json/bower.json

Would mind changing to use sparkbuzz/jQuery-xml2json?

sorry for late reply, summer holidayzzzzzzz..... But I wil look into that...

The jquery.xml2json plugin is only used for the SOAPResponse.toJSON() function. Changing it to sparkbuzz would definitely break other peoples code. But the fyneworks/xtreemrage version is quite crappy. It does fine with simple soap responses but fails massively at other XMLs I came across...

I think the best thing would be to drop the dependency altogether and add some additional info regarding the use of SOAPResponse in combination with a 3rd party jquery plugin like the sparkbuzz version in the README.......
