Inspired by miniFlickr, I just posted a miniRSS reader, using SWX and SWXml. Watch the screencast that shows how miniRSS displays Aral's RSS feed on Flash Lite :-)

Sorry, the “Hello World” example code in my last comment should look like this:
Hello World

I updated the SWXml class (0.8.2):

I added the possibility to send a local string containing XML to SWXml, e.g. “Hello World”.

Therefore, there’s a new parameter called “xmlType”. If you set it to “string”, SWXml interprets the XML source as a local string, not as a URL (which is default). The parameter is optional, so the new version is fully backward compatible.

I also prepared SWXml for mock data support.

And last but not least: SWXml now checks if you send a valid URL that starts with ‘http’.

Hi Abdul,

I don’t think SWXml diminishes the need for SWX-specific APIs for things but I am going to integrate it into the BaseService class so that developers can also make new SWX APIs easily from existing XML-based ones (just like they can today with the jsonCall() method in the BaseService class with JSON endpoints.)

Aral,

That’s very interesting. I have been working on SimplePie module for SWX, it would have been Feeds specific. Now I wouldn’t work on it anymore, SWXml sounds great…

Hey Flo, thanks for the update, man! (Btw, I just edited your comment so that the links display better on the site). I’m going to update the post with a link to your screencast now.

I recorded a basic demonstration (tutorial) that shows how to use SWXml (2 min 48 sec, without sound). By the way, I've just seen Aral's post about the Leopard dashboard and Flash: SWX and SWXml also work perfect in the dashboard :-)
