XML interfaces to xmlTree:
On the import side of the syndication equation:
We import lists of XML channels from other sites, like Userland, or Groksoup (along with many others).
Sometimes these lists just give us the URL of the channel, in which case we then go on to that channel URL and parse it to grab the directory information we need.
We also use parsing in the registration, as shown here. This allows the user to simply enter the URL, and we parse the content for the rest of the information.
On the export side of the syndication equation:
We provide a complete list of XML channels in the OCS format (a large file). If you wish to use this file, please limit access to once per day, and please provide attribution to xmlTree as requested in the license. This is used by other XML applications, like Carmen's Headline Viewer.
We also allow XML channel - based portals to syndicate our directory structure in XML, using their own look and feel. An example where the styling takes place on the server is WAPAW.com, the most comprehensive search engine for WAP content. Another example is provided by MyWebNews, which is styling XML on their server and dishing up regular HTML. This service is still being improved but we have several affiliates signed up.
Other services:
Newsboy - email delivery of 1200 XML news channels. We parse the channel when it changes and then format it using XSL before emailing the content to the subscriber. Subscribe yourself to xml.com and try it out!
