processing XML and CI - Best practice - El Forum - 11-27-2008

Hi.

I'm willing to use CI for an app I'm building. In this app I'll have to parse some XML to feed a page with data (so no DDB here).

So I will grab my XML file, parse it using simle XML and manage it (CRUD).

I was wondering where I should do that. in models? I'm not sure but I think it's the best way.
Any recommandation?

XML is data and data is manipulated by models, so your idea is good IMO.

Agreed. Models are for handling all kinds of stored data, not just database tables.
