Parse XML with PHP5 - PaulStamatiou.com One of the most common things web coders run into is the need to parse some type of XML file. Many web services return API calls in XML format, so it's just handy to know how to parse these results quickly. With PHP4 you usually have to rely on some large parsing library to get the job done or deal with overly complicated PHP functions, but PHP 5 has a great extension called SimpleXML. When I say parsing XML, I'm talking about navigating through XML markup to return data of interest. For example, let's take a look at the Yahoo! geocoding API. Here is an example call to the geocoding service to get the latitude and longitude of Atlanta, GA. This is the XML output for that call: Typical SimpleXML Usage If we only want to receive the latitude and longitude from the XML result, we can quickly do that with SimpleXML. The function simplexml_load_file() loads the external XML file. var_dump(xml); echo "<pre>"; var_dump(xml); echo "</pre>"; Wrapup
Integrate Oracle Business Rules with Siebel CRM/SOA Suite 11g (Oracle Fusion Middleware for Siebel) Oracle Business Rules (OBR) is a component of both SOA Suite and BPM Suite and offers seamless integration with BPEL processes in SOA applications via rules and decision tables. This integration is achieved via the use of JDeveloper as the single tool for modeling business terms, rules and processes. A business rule has an IF part and a THEN part. The IF part tests one or more business terms. Using OBR Designer, you can model this rule as shown: In this tutorial, we show how to integrate OBR into a Siebel SOA application that invokes QueryById to obtain the account information. The supporting files needed to run the tutorial are here.
The Sports Markup Language SportsML is the only open, global XML standard for the interchange of sports data.
