Backend DevelopmentXML/RSS TutorialDetailed introduction to using XML to implement BBS (topic list)
Table A:
1-0-1,this is a test 3-1-1,this is a test 4-3-1,this is a test 5-3-1,this is a test 2-0-2,this is a test
The above is an example of a BBS topic list. Generally speaking, if you are not using Oracle (Oracle has a query statement that can automatically generate a family tree, please refer to the Select... startwith... connect by... statement), then how to implement the list in the above example is troublesome. Work (I believe many programmers have written this).
If we use xml instead, what will be the result?
Now we use "Select * from bbs" to query posts from the database and return them in XML format (if you are using ADO, you can use its RecordSet.Save... adPersistXML to generate it directly. Of course, if you don't like it, The format generated by ADO can be generated by a program, such as this example):
Table B:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="b.xsl"?> <bbs> <post sid="4" pid="3" aid="1"> <title>4-3-1,this is a test</title> <content>slddfjslajfsdljf</content> </post> <post sid="5" pid="3" aid="1"> <title>5-3-1,this is a test</title> <content>slddfjslajfsdljf</content> </post> <post sid="3" pid="1" aid="1"> <title>3-1-1,this is a test</title> <content>slddfjslajfsdljf</content> </post> <post sid="1" pid="0" aid="1"> <title>1-0-1,this is a test</title> <content>slddfjslajfsdljf</content> </post> <post sid="2" pid="0" aid="2"> <title>2-0-2,this is a test</title> <content>slddfjslajfsdljf</content> </post> </bbs>
Description: Here sid is the id number of the post, and pid is the parent id number of the post. title is the title and content is the content of the post.
The second row in the above table specifies the use of b.XSL to convert XML content. This is the information provided to IE5. If you use XMLDOM, you don't need this message.
Let’s take a look at how to display the XML content of the above table into an XSL file in the form of Table A:
Table C: b.XSL
<?xml version=''1.0''?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="post"> <li> <div> <xsl:attribute name="title"><xsl:value-of select="content"/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="title"/> <xsl:if test="/bbs/post[@pid=context()/@sid]"> <xsl:element name="ul"> <xsl:apply-templates select="/bbs/post[@pid=context()/@sid]"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:if> </div> </li> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="bbs"> <ul> <xsl:apply-templates select="post[@pid=0]"/> </ul> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
Now, you will table Save the content of B as abc.xml, save the content of table C as b.xsl, and then open it in IE5, you can see the same content as table A.
It can be seen that the XSL file determines the final display result. If you have multiple sub-forums, there is no need to change the forum program. As long as you provide different XSL files for each sub-forum, you can make each sub-forum have a unique performance regardless of the style, screen or theme arrangement. If free forum services are provided, it would be a good choice to allow forum applicants to customize their own XSL files.
But what should we do if the client does not support XML? The answer is simple. The server first converts XML into HTML and then transmits it to the client.
Below we use IIS4/5+IE5+asp to implement this example (the server must have IE5 installed):
<%@ LANGUAGE = JScript %>
<%
Set rsXML=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet");
sSQL = “SELECT * from bbs"
sConn = “你自个儿写”
rsXML.CursorLocation = adUseClient
rsXML.Open sSQL, sConn, adOpenStatic
//指定XSL文件位置
var styleFile = Server.MapPath("simple.xsl");
// Save the XML to XMLDOM
var source = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
''rsXML.Save source, adPersistXML
''我相当不喜欢ADO直接Save出来的XML文档，我总是这样做：
Dim GetData,v
GetData = GetData & "<bbs>"
while not RS_ForumInfo.EOF
GetData = GetData & "<post>"
for i = 0 to RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Count -1
set v = RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i)
if (v.Type=201)or(v.Type=203)or(v.Type=205) then
GetData = GetData& "<" & RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i).Name &">" &_
"<![CDATA[" & RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i).Value & "]]>" &_
"</" & RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i).Name &">"
else
GetData = GetData& "<" & RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i).Name &">" &_
RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i).Value &_
"</" & RS_ForumInfo.Fields.Item(i).Name &">"
end if
set v = Nothing
next
GetData = GetData & "</post>"
RS_ForumInfo.MoveNext
wend
GetData = GetData & "</bbs>"
source.loadXML GetData
// Load the XSL
var style = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
style.async = false;
style.load(styleFile);
Response.Write(source.transformNode(style));
%> Of course, for the sake of simplicity, ADO is used directly to generate XML, so simple.xsl is different from b.xsl above.
Readers can refer to the above example and XSL reference materials (MSDN in 2000 has a more detailed XML/XSL SDK document) to write. (End)

JSON, XML, and Data Formats: Comparing RSSMay 02, 2025 am 12:20 AMThe main differences between JSON, XML and RSS are structure and uses: 1. JSON is suitable for simple data exchange, with a simple structure and easy to parse; 2. XML is suitable for complex data structures, with a rigorous structure but complex parsing; 3. RSS is based on XML and is used for content release, standardized but limited use.
Troubleshooting XML/RSS Feeds: Common Pitfalls and Expert SolutionsMay 01, 2025 am 12:07 AMThe processing of XML/RSS feeds involves parsing and optimization, and common problems include format errors, encoding issues, and missing elements. Solutions include: 1. Use XML verification tools to check for format errors; 2. Ensure encoding consistency and use the chardet library to detect encoding; 3. Use default values or skip the element when missing elements; 4. Use efficient parsers such as lxml and cache parsing results to optimize performance; 5. Pay attention to data consistency and security to prevent XML injection attacks.
Decoding RSS Documents: Reading and Interpreting FeedsApr 30, 2025 am 12:02 AMThe steps to parse RSS documents include: 1. Read the XML file, 2. Use DOM or SAX to parse XML, 3. Extract headings, links and other information, and 4. Process data. RSS documents are XML-based formats used to publish updated content, structures containing, and elements, suitable for building RSS readers or data processing tools.

RSS Document Formats: Exploring RSS 2.0 and BeyondApr 26, 2025 am 12:22 AMRSS2.0 is an open standard that allows content publishers to distribute content in a structured way. It contains rich metadata such as titles, links, descriptions, release dates, etc., allowing subscribers to quickly browse and access content. The advantages of RSS2.0 are its simplicity and scalability. For example, it allows custom elements, which means developers can add additional information based on their needs, such as authors, categories, etc.
Understanding RSS: An XML PerspectiveApr 25, 2025 am 12:14 AMRSS is an XML-based format used to publish frequently updated content. 1. RSSfeed organizes information through XML structure, including title, link, description, etc. 2. Creating RSSfeed requires writing in XML structure, adding metadata such as language and release date. 3. Advanced usage can include multimedia files and classified information. 4. Use XML verification tools during debugging to ensure that the required elements exist and are encoded correctly. 5. Optimizing RSSfeed can be achieved by paging, caching and keeping the structure simple. By understanding and applying this knowledge, content can be effectively managed and distributed.

mPDF
mPDF is a PHP library that can generate PDF files from UTF-8 encoded HTML. The original author, Ian Back, wrote mPDF to output PDF files "on the fly" from his website and handle different languages. It is slower than original scripts like HTML2FPDF and produces larger files when using Unicode fonts, but supports CSS styles etc. and has a lot of enhancements. Supports almost all languages, including RTL (Arabic and Hebrew) and CJK (Chinese, Japanese and Korean). Supports nested block-level elements (such as P, DIV),
SecLists
SecLists is the ultimate security tester's companion. It is a collection of various types of lists that are frequently used during security assessments, all in one place. SecLists helps make security testing more efficient and productive by conveniently providing all the lists a security tester might need. List types include usernames, passwords, URLs, fuzzing payloads, sensitive data patterns, web shells, and more. The tester can simply pull this repository onto a new test machine and he will have access to every type of list he needs.
