Hi Rick,

In https://github.com/FoxInCloud/FoxInCloud-AB, abOOP.prg, you have:

- cXMLofObject(): XML definition of an object, including class and classlib; only property values different from class are stored
- objectOfXML(): recreates or populate an existing instance of the object from XML

supports nested objects, collections and array properties among others.

Because of dependencies, you need the whole AB layer; to load the package, just

do AB

at program startup

As we use an object-oriented naming (eg. cXMLofObject() instead of objectToXML()), it should not conflict with your naming.
