General

how to parse the response data from the link below:

api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=77079,us&mode=xml&appid=

please add your own appid. I just want to extract all the values. Thanks.

Yeah, if you’re asking for help, it might be a good idea to provide the information we need, rather than have us create accounts for things we don’t need/want. If you could show an example of what a response would look like, we might be able to help better.
Additionally, there have been quite a lot of topics regarding openweather already. You might want to give the search function a try.

I would recommend reading the data in JSON format, not XML. The SparkJson library is in the community library section and works pretty well. Just remove the mode=xml from the request URL; the default is JSON.

@rickkas7, thanks. I saw the JSON parser in the library. But I saw the simple xml parser in the webhook example. Thought xml might be simpler to extract.

I have parsed XML from the web using strtok and wrote about it here:
