[xwiki-users] Fetching some external XML resource and using it in a XWiki page?
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? Thank you in advance! Sylvain

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
