Interpreting XML Feed in Visual Foxpro
Looking for ways to interpret XML files I stumbled on this article at the foxite.com forum. This was still way too difficult in my opinion. So I used the methods and created some lean code that does what I want in far less code.
This piece of program retrieves a feed from the Dutch public-services network and lists all items:
lcFeed = [http://feeds.livep2000.nl/]
lcFile = UrlToFile(lcFeed)
oXML = CREATEOBJECT("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
oXML.load(lcFile)
oItems = oXML.getElementsByTagName([item])
FOR EACH oItem IN oItems
FOR EACH oLine IN oItem.childNodes
? oLine.nodeName+[: ]+oLine.text
ENDFOR
