Convert JSON to XML

[NokX]

i have a javascript object that i'm wanting to convert into an XML document.

basically, i'm wanting to make this as dynamic as possible because i'm not always going to have the same attributes for each conversion, and i'm not sure how to loop through an objects attributes, pull the attribute name, etc... pulling the value is easy once i know the names of the available attributes.

for example, data.People[0].Person[2] might have .FirstName, .LastName, .MaidenName, etc... while the others do not.

<People>
    <Person FirstName="Bob" LastName="Smith" />
    <Person FirstName="Mary" LastName="Jones" MaidenName="Brown" />
    <Person FirstName="Richard" LastName="Williams" />
</People>

[NokX]

this is a start... it at least returns "People".

for (var key in object) {
        alert(key);
    }

now i just gotta figure out a way to keep digging down.
