Hello,
(warning n00b question ahead)
I would like to fetch external data, in xml (say for example
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/master/pom.xml) and use it in a
XWiki page : filter tokens, display node contents, etc. At this stage I don’t envision
populating a custom class.
Would you guys have pointers/examples of such xwiki page?
First you could use getURLContent(), see:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/External+Pretty+Code
Now if you want to parse the XML then you should use an API that does that. If you can use
Groovy then you can easily do the same as is done here for example:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Nexus+Integration
Hope it helps,
-Vincent
Thank you in advance!
Sylvain
