How do I import ONIX XML into Magento?












1















I need to get ONIX data to my Magento ebook store. I could convert it into a format that Magento understands (i.e. CSV) and then use the default import. But at times the a single feed can have a few new books, a few updates. This can’t be achieved by the default Magento import. Do you guys have any suggestions about how I would go about this?

          Assuming the data is well-formed, you could create a script that lives outside of Magento to handle this using SimpleXML. The script would take your XML file, process it to an array or object, loop over that data, and use the Magento core code to create a new product or find and update products for each item processed. You could either run this script manually or use a Cron job to run it at a defined interval.
