using proXML
Dec 5th, 2007, 9:15pm  
Hi there!

I am really new to processing, and I am having a little trouble figuring out how to use proXML. Essentially what I want to do is take an RSS feed in the form of an XML document and use its updates to generate art (in the form of a particle system or shapes). What I want to know is, am I way off? Has anyone done something similar? Should I use a different library? I have no idea what to use, or how to bring in the XML file correctly so that the updated data off the XML could generate something in Processing. I'm thinking that I have to use the loadElement scripting first. It seems though that every time I experiment with this, nothing works. If anyone can help that would be really great! Thanks guys!

check out this thread.

I posted an example on how to load an rss feed and display it (pretty roughly) in Processing.
