scratch xml

I know that you can now export scratch to xml using add-ons, but could anybody make an xml reader for scratch?

Re: scratch xml

Hi Worfaniggles,

the XML-Converter for Scratch scripts which is part of Chirp works in both directions, i.e. it lets you export scripts as XML-files and re-import them from XML. I didn't yet publish a schema for it because the format details are still in flow, but if you look at the XML created by Chirp you'll find out that you can, in fact, modify them using either a plain text editor (hard) or - better - any other XML capable editing tool.

Chirp, however, has not yet been updated to work with Scratch 1.3.x, but I'm planning to try out a new XML-converter soon.

I'd be very interested in your ideas about combining Scratch with XML. What would you like to be able to accomplish with such a feature?
