Hi Kent,
Funnily enough I had a feeling you'd have something to say here as I did
have a read of your page on GXMP. Are you using PHP to parse the data and in
that case have you featured in PHP's own XML functions?
Because the sites I work on are virtually hosted I cannot guarantee PHP to
be configured with XML so I was wondering whether it would be best to go
with an independent parser, e.g.:
http://www.phpxml.org/
...and keep the system ultra portable or stick to using PHP's XML functions.
Question is would there be any performance issues with the former method?
In fact I've got too many questions...I think the basic one was is using XML
as a basis for config files in FreeTrade a good or bad idea? Am I missing
something?
