I’ve always disliked XML really, I just feel it’s a bit bloated as a data container and parsing it in some languages can be unnecessarily complex. For AJAX-style requests I much prefer to use a format like JSON to transport data. Unfortunately, I need to keep up with the times and XML is already a major part of the internet, and is used in SOAP, RSS, Atom etc.. Therefore I like this class that a developer Anis uddin Ahmad has made. There’s probably loads of other classes like it, but this one is very simple to use, and by reading the author’s blog post, this is the intention. So I refer you now to the PHP Universal Feed Parser. I’m not sure how versatile it is, and what could break it yet, but it’s a cool idea and once I get a chance I’ll have a look at the source code and see how it works.
