Hello community,

I'm interested on the xml file (the structure) to work with datalinq on xPression. I was looking at the User Manual but there is no reference about the XML structure, so I'm wondering if there is any document that describes more deep this topic.

Thank you in advance for all your help.

Best regards

XML is simply a file type readable by XPression. XML by itself is a way of encoding data that is machine and human readable (meaning that you and I can understand it, hopefully) and can be used by several other languages, such as RSS, which many online newsreading applications work with.

Our XML datalinq requires that the XML file be on the system itself. However, for online datalinq, you might want to use RSS. This way you have online access to an XML file!

I hope you found this useful Rene.

Hi JB, thank you for your quick reply. But my question was not related with what is XML... my question is about the internal structure that an XML file needs to work with datalinq, i.e, what specific data must be defined on the XML file in order to fill the template.

Best regards

There is no set format. When building your templates you link each text field to any XML field you want; so the xml schema can be whatever you want..

Hi Brian, thank you for your reply. So I think I'm not understanding very well how it works. I saw in the user manual that you need to link the DataLinq source with the server, but I don't see how link text fields with xml fields... Do you have any example?

BTW, Do you know if there is an API for 3PP to work with XPression? Also Do xPression supports SNMP protocol?

Thank's in advance

Here is a short video showing how to link a text field to an XML file. (Download it rather than watching it in the embedded player; it will be much higher quality)

XPression does not support SNMP.
