Dear list,
is there any option to convert automatically webpage content to xml in PD? I would like to create some interactive installations based on web content, and still looking for a simple way.
Converting a symbol into XML or DOM is not possible with Pd, but you could write your parser in a seperate program, e.g. using Python and Beautiful Soup (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/beautifulsoup4).
Then you can send the data to Pd using UDP and [netreceive] in Pd.
If you can control the webserver, you could output the data as JSON and then use my extension PuREST JSON: http://ix.residuum.org/pd/purest_json.html
