Views XML

This module is deprecated

Superior Alternatives:

• Views Bonus Pack
• Views Node Feed

Views Bonus Pack

This module provides a number of additions to views including an XML output. This module is actively maintained and provides a number of excellent additions for getting data out of Views.

Views Node Feed

After this module was released views_node_feed came along and provided a much more customizable and extensible module to perform essentially the same task. Views Node Feed provides the ability to make Contemplate style templates that will be used to render your views. If you need highly configurable output please checkout Views Node Feed. It is much better.

For the incorrigible, the original module description:

views_xml is a simple module that provides XML output from a view. This module was created for the instances when you need to get data from Drupal into an external application (like Flash) but do not want or need to write data to Drupal from that application.

This module is not intended to replace Services module but is presented as an alternative for the instances where implementing XMLRPC is overkill and the superior performance of AMFPHP is not necessary. This module can also be useful for creating the output necessary for other existing applications (third party Flash slide shows etc.).

With this module a Flash developer that does not know any PHP can easily generate XML from drupal nodes. A sample actionscript 2 file is included as an example but a more reusable xml parsing function and an implementation in actionscript 3 are on their way.
