I&#x27;m not sure what your age has to do with this submission, I know a guy who wrote a simple operating system with 15 and never put his age online just to get &#x27;real feedback&#x27; as he put it.<p>Edit: After looking at the code it also becomes apparent that you did not write an &quot;XML-to-JSON converter&quot; but just put a (very simple) web-frontend in front of the crack-library. ( <a href="http://www.railstips.org/blog/archives/2009/04/01/crack-the-easiest-way-to-parse-xml-and-json/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.railstips.org&#x2F;blog&#x2F;archives&#x2F;2009&#x2F;04&#x2F;01&#x2F;crack-the-...</a> ) Not to discourage you, but I don&#x27;t think the title is really honest this way.

It falls over with an internal server error if you enter invalid XML. That&#x27;s not good. Besides that, it&#x27;s ace that you&#x27;re learning and putting code out there for snarky old people like me to complain about. ;)<p>Regarding your age though, you&#x27;re old too. <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/thomas_suarez_a_12_year_old_app_developer.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ted.com&#x2F;talks&#x2F;thomas_suarez_a_12_year_old_app_dev...</a> ;)
