Hi All,
I've been away from C# for a couple of years
and looking forward to picking it up again mainly for my own purposes.
I did a google on 'compare
XML' but did not come up with much and
given that with 2008
(have the Beta2) around the corner thought I would start a new thread here.
I want to tap into several web XML feeds and compare the
data, do some analysis, filter then display and review the results. Inevitably whilst
the feeds carry (all/some of) the same data they will not have the same
element names etc. These feeds would change often and I would need to repeat at frequent intervals, if not continuously!
I have never really got into XML, but would now like to have ago at
this project. My initial thoughts are that I would read the feeds and rename
the items with my own 'common' names and then load them into a Database
for comparison.
Of course this might be totally the wrong way etc etc and (at this stage;-)))
I am not looking for somebody to write the code for me, rather have
someone give me some pointers, so as I can learn as I go.
Any comments/advice would be greatly appreciated and I look forward to visiting the site regularly again.
Apologies if I am in the wrong forum as I am sure the emphasis may be more on XML and Database rather than C# itself etc.
Cheers
Alan
