Analyzing FM's DDR XML Output -

I'm very knew to XML. I understand the basics that the XML contains
your data and the stylesheet tells the browser or some other
application how to display / interpert that data.
FileMaker outputs a DDR in XML format.
I want to be able to import this data back into a FileMaker file, I
assume using a stylesheet, so that I can work with this output.
I know there are atleast 2 products, Analyzer & BrushFire, that
currently do this with plugins or C++ code but I don't care for the
display of their output.
I have created my own analysis file which pulls apart the XML data,
however every time FM puts out a new version and sometimes even an
upgrade eg. 7.0v2 to 7.0v3 some of the XML changes and my file doesn't
work. On top of this, it is deadly slow, taking over an hour to
analyze 8MB of XML data.
Can anyone comment on if this is possible and if so, are there any
stylesheets that already split apart the DDR's XML output. |
