XML webservice

catorghans - June 15, 2009 - 13:01

I want to use an external XML webservice to add/update nodes of one content-type on a site.
Where should I start looking? I know how to write (simple) drupal modules, but I'm overwhelmed with possibilities.

I will use cron to get a large XML with every active item that then needs to be processed.
The content-type will have a lot of cck-fields.

http://drupal.org/project/webservices
others?

Where should I start?

Start

with feedapi.

Even if the XML is not an rss

thanks.

I already started with a small module using drupal_http_request() and simplexml. But this looks the right way to do it.
