Still plugging away. :-) http://bbcfeeds.dabase.com/problem_description.txt
Does anyone have some simple solutions pref. in Shell CGI or PHP to convert XML into JSON? Suckless solutions please. i.e. the least amount of code possible. http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/data/WeatherFeeds?v=p12 Or why doesn't BBC backstage offer JSON feeds? XML is such a PITA and you need callbacks nowadays for mashups, don't you? Next observation is that there is a huge amount of white space in the feed. http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/rss/5day/id/2053.xml Though it says """All of the 7379 feeds are updated at least* twice a day (at approximately 8AM/PM *GMT*)""", you should set cache control headers, so HTTP can works its magic. See Mark Nottingham's guide on this topic, http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/ Ok, now I really need to address my other projects. Bye, - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk developer discussion group.
