Pulling XML from a live feed

An easier way to do it?

[webboy1]

Hi,

I am reasonably new to XML, although so far i have enjoyed working with it.

Its been a usual start of having to learn it for a client website - which has involved crash course books and an actual training course.

Anyway, to cut a long story short. A site that we are building requires that i pull Data from a live XML feed. I have had some success with this using a mixture of XML and ASP.

However, while on my course i found that i may actually be able to do it all without using ASP at all. Instead using Xpath and/or XST - but i am struggling to get it all to work correctly.

Anyone had experience of taking large chunks of data from a live XML feed? Do you know of any good sites a could look at for guidance? I have found loads on pulling live XML news feeds, but these are fairly small compared to the amount of Data i will be pulling. (Think more along the lines of live up-to-date football stats). I basically have to produce a site that displays the information pulled from this XML feed.

All help and/or advice is greatly appreciated,

Cheers,
Webboy

webboy1,
If you are using asp, you can use a free threaded dom document to load the xml and load an xsl stylesheet accomplish the transformations. I recommend doing it this way as you can then pass any variables you want to your xsl.

Are you currently just using xmldom to parse through the xml?
