RE:  need help / insight on parsing some xml with vb6

Well, the web service you are trying to access:

https://api.competitionsuite.com/2013-02/Performances/?c=cce9ab64-5d54-44e4-a13e-f3b9528a5909

 

by default returns JSON instead of XML, but can also return XML with a bit more work.

 

You’ll need to send an additional HTTP Header to the Web Service. This function will do the job:

 

Function LoadXML(url As String)

   Dim oHttp As Object

    Set oHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")

    oHttp.Open "GET", url, False

‘ Tell the web service to return XML instead of JSON

    oHttp.setRequestHeader "Accept", "text/xml"

    oHttp.send

 

    Set LoadXML = oHttp.responseXML

End Function

 

And then change the call to xmlObj.Load for:

 

Set objXML = LoadXML("https://api.competitionsuite.com/2013-02/Performances/?c=cce9ab64-5d54-44e4-a13e-f3b9528a5909")

Hey - this seems to be working...now I have another problem...

The source for the xml file is on a server and I am trying to load it but nothing happens.

Dim objXML As New MSXML2.DOMDocument

Dim NodeList As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNodeList

Dim xNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

 

objXML.async = False

  

Set NodeList = objXML.selectNodes("//ArrayOfCompetition/Competition/EventName")

 

For Each xNode In NodeList

    Combo1.AddItem xNode.Text

    List1.AddItem xNode.Text

Next

 

 

What am I missing? Can I use Microsoft Internet Transfer Control and save it out locally as an XML file? 

What is the best thing to do? This source xml will be updated regularly and I need to access it quickly and display results as soon as possible - speed is an issue.

Thoughts?

 

Tom

Sorry the correct type for Nodelist is XMLDOMNodeList

Hey - thanks - that got me past one error now I have another....

Private Sub Command1_Click()

Dim objXML As New MSXML2.DOMDocument

Dim NodeList As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

Dim xNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

 

objXML.async = False

objXML.Load ("C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Desktop\new xml test aop.xml")

 

Set NodeList = objXML.selectNodes("//ArrayOfCompetition/Competition/EventName")

 

For Each xNode In NodeList

    Print xNode.Text

Next

End Sub



The error I now get is Type Mismatch on this line: 

Set NodeList = objXML.selectNodes("//ArrayOfCompetition/Competition/EventName")

 

 

Here is a snippet of the xml from the beginning....

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

The code that you provided was helpful and here is what I did attached
to a button click...

Dim objXML As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
Dim NodeList As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
  Dim xNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode

objXML.async = False
objXML.Load ("C:\Documents and Settings\Tom\Desktop\new xml test aop.xml")
'objXML.Load ("c:\users\BillGates\Documents\competition.xml")
Set NodeList =
objXML.selectSingleNode("/ArrayOfCompetition/Competition/EventName")

 

The code posted by William used
  selectNodes
and not
  selectSingleNode
Only selectNodes gives you a NodeList you can iterate over, selectSingleNode returns the first matched node or Nothing if none is found.
