与大多数流行的 Web 服务如 twitter 通过开放 API 来提供数据一样，它总是能够知道如何解析 API 数据的各种传送格式，包括 JSON，XML 等等。
PHP解析JSON数据
$json_string='{"id":1,"name":"foo","email":"foo@foobar.com","interest":["wordpress","php"]} ';
$obj=json_decode($json_string);
echo $obj->name; //prints foo
echo $obj->interest[1]; //prints php
PHP解析XML 数据
$xml_string="xml version='1.0'?>
Foo
foo@bar.com
Foobar
foobar@foo.com
";
//load the xml string using simplexml
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_string);
//loop through the each node of user
foreach ($xml->user as $user)
{
//access attribute
echo $user['id'], ' ';
//subnodes are accessed by -> operator
echo $user->name, ' ';
echo $user->email, '
';
}
