Hello out there,
It doesn't look like there is any native way to parse XML in
ColdFusion version 5.0. ColdFusion MX makes it easier to work with
XML, but unfortunately I am working with a CF5 server on Windows.
I've gotten to the point of using CFHTTP to retrieve the XML
content into a variable, but I don't know the best way to unpack
that data into a query or other structure that I can use to feed
the rest of the template. I've thought about saving the content to
a file and then looping over it, but my gut tells me that this is
an inefficient way to do the job.
I'd like to avoid needing to install any added software, but
if that is the only way to process XML in CF5, then I'd be grateful
for any recommendations about the best tools to evaluate and/or
buy. Or if there is some way to do it in JavaScript, that would be
great, too.
Thanks for any help!
