Importing with MSXML (2)

1. First, load MSXML4:

     var oDOM OleAuto ; this will be our DOM instance for the document
       endVar
       
     oDOM.open ("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0")
     oDOM.async = False

   • Depending on the PC setup, other object signatures can work... or fail
   • Document loading is asynchronous by default, which is inconvenient with Paradox: forcing a synchronous load makes things much easier
2. Now load the document:

      oDOM.load ("http://www.riff.org/rssfeed.php")

3. That's all folks ! Just 4 lines of code ! Do not forget to check the results, though...
4. MSXML also provides a SAX API, which can be more efficient for on-the-fly transformations during loading, but the DOM API is simpler to grasp for XML beginners.
