How does it deal with XML-->JSON for deep mixed content? I have TEI
documents with analytic markup, on which the publisher's rendering
and the user's linguistic or semantic analysis depends, nested up

the markup simpler" by using JSON.

Sure, it's straightforward. Each XML element is a JSON array whose
first element is the element name as a JSON string, whose second
element is the attribute mapping as a JSON object, and whose
remaining elements are the content as JSON strings or arrays. The
attribute mapping can be omitted if it is empty.

Thus:

<foo/> => ["foo"]

<foo bar="baz" zam="quux"/> => ["foo", {"bar":"baz", "zam":"quux"}]

<foo>32 <dog/></foo> => ["foo", "32 ", "["dog"]]

<foo bar="baz"><dog zam="quux"/> => ["foo", {"bar":"baz"}, ["dog"",
{"zam":"quux"}]]

Thank you, that's very useful. Here's a line from a poem

<lg n="7" type="quatrain">
<l n="1">
<app>
<rdg wit="H">
<ps>
<fn>
<sic>Chór</sic>
</fn>
</ps>

<rdg wit="Eg">Mór m' ainm-si an</rdg>

gach cath.</l>
<l n="4">Mac <ps><fn>Turgeis</fn></ps> na
t-tréan-chreach.</l>
</lg>

The root element type is TEI.2 and the xpointer to the <sic> element is
root.child(1,#element,'TEXT').child(1,#element,'BODY').child(1,#element,'DIV0').child(29,#element,'DIV1').child(6,#element,'LG').child(1,#element,'L').child(1,#element,'APP').child(1,#element,'RDG').child(1,#element,'PS').child(1,#element,'FN').child(1,#element,'SIC')
so the <sic> element is 15 deep in the tree.

What editors and rendering engines would be suitable to replace
oXygen/Emacs and XSLT?
