[thelist] Cold fusion to Parse XML file?

[Pete Freitag]

Hi Christopher,

	ColdFusion currently doesn't have a built in XML parser, but you can get a
third party component.  My company makes one that you can get here:
http://www.cfdev.com/xml/

It allows you to take XML like this...

<root>
 <x y="z">stuff</x>
</root>

And then turn it into variables...

#var.root.x.y# (which equals "z")
or #var.root.x.INNER_TEXT# (which equals "stuff")

Subject: [thelist] Cold fusion to Parse XML file?


Hiya

I am designing an application that will run on a client's Cold Fusion
server.  While I am comfortable designing the business logic I am relatively
unfamiliar with Cold Fusion.  I would like to have the data arrive at the
application in the form of a flat (text based) XML file, and have CF parse
it.  Are there any issues with this?  Any gotcha's or special components I
might need them to have installed in order to perform this?

Thanks in advance!
