Mirasol Q&A: The XML structure

Q: How is the XML feed structured?

A: The rendering engine uses an XML feed to transform the XSLT layouts to the content to be displayed in a web browser. The XML feed contains the title of the page and the fields defined in the corresponding template.

This is how the XML feed is structured:

<page>
  <title>My page title</title>
  <fields>
    <field_name>Hello, world!</some_field_name>
    <yet_another_field_name><p>Hi again.</p></yet_another_field_name>
  </fields>
</page>

You can output the values from the XML feed in the XSLT layouts like this:

<xsl:stylesheet ...>
  ...
  <xsl:template match="/page">
    <xsl:value-of select="title" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
    <xsl:value-of select="fields/field_name" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
    <xsl:value-of select="fields/yet_another_field_name" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
