YallDev How to render a String that is in XML format which was return from a webservice.
Hi
I am very new with visualforce development, and I decided to learn by trying a weather webservice, however what it returns
is a string, that looks like XML. I have no clue how to parse this. I have already found out that I must create a new class to capture it.
I would appreciate any tips or hints.
Below is what it returns.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?> <CurrentWeather> <Location>Eindhoven, Netherlands (EHEH) 51-27N 005-25E 28M</Location> <Time>Jul 04, 2012 - 06:55 AM EDT / 2012.07.04 1055 UTC</Time> <Wind> from the S (180 degrees) at 5 MPH (4 KT):0</Wind> <Visibility> greater than 7 mile(s):0</Visibility> <SkyConditions> overcast</SkyConditions> <Temperature> 73 F (23 C)</Temperature> <DewPoint> 57 F (14 C)</DewPoint> <RelativeHumidity> 56%</RelativeHumidity> <Pressure> 29.91 in. Hg (1013 hPa)</Pressure> <Status>Success</Status> </CurrentWeather>
Thanks It worked for me.

Assuming you have the value as a String, you can create an instance of the XmlStreamReader class and pass your value into the contstructor. The docs:
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_classes_xml_XmlStream_reader.htm
The examples in the documentation show how to traverse and access the elements in your XML data. From there you can assign to object fields, etc.
