Extend ImportX to also do XML & JSON import

Open Mark-H opened this issue 14 years ago • 2 comments

CSV is nice.. but XML and JSON offer more flexibility (and more error possibilities too!) for importing.

Systems such as Wordpress allow XML exports, and it would be amazing if they could be transformed & imported to MODX resources.

JSON is similar to XML, but lightweight and easy to generate in programming languages from arrays.

Please comment if this is a feature you would like to see and I may just work on it. (If this is a priority for you and would like to invest in this, let me know via business at markhamstra.nl)

I'd like to see JSON style importing, definitely. This would theoretically allow you a method to get round the multi-line content issue mentioned in #23

Technically you can already do this; you just need to add a different processor in core/c/importx/processors/prepare.

And I have huge plans for 2.0, just need to find time :) Op 4 dec. 2012 01:18 schreef "Christian Hanvey" [email protected] het volgende:
