Methods and apparatus for processing XML data in a printing system by translating the XML data into corresponding entries in a key-value data structure that includes information regarding the original order of the XML nodes in the XML data. In one exemplary embodiment, XML nodes in a JDF job ticket are processed by a parser program in the printing system to translate the XML node into entries of a Postscript dictionary data structure. A key value in each entry encodes the ordinal position of the corresponding printing parameter in the JDF job ticket.
