Introduction

What does it do?

This extension adds a new content object XPATH to the classic TypoScript cObjects. The XPATH cObject allows for a flexible, TypoScript based treatment of any kind of XML data. The data can be read from database fields, files or external resources.

Features

  • TypoScript based approach to XML processing
  • Many possibilities to work on the XML data with stdWrap or parseFunc
  • Works with database fields, files or external XML resources
  • Get values from TYPO3 Flexforms or Gridelements with TypoScript
  • Offers different return formats for the results matched by the XPath query
  • Debug errors with the TSFE admin panel

Many things can be realized like chaining of XPATH objects or transformation of the XML data either with TypoScript, PHP (userFuncs) or XSLT . Have a look at the tutorials in this manual.

Credits

This extension has been developed for the Digital Humanities projects of the Digital Academy Mainz where we have to deal with lots of XML. Glad if you find it useful too.
