XML To Array Plugin

The XML to Array Plugin imports the property and team member data from the Zoo Property API and places it into tables in your Wordpress data. This means you can then extract the data from the Wordpress database to display it on the website. There are two distinct advantages of using the XML to Array Plugin:

1. The website will be a lot quicker if you are quering the local Wordpress database rather than an XML. This will improve user exeprience for the website.

2. The Agentpoint Realty Plugin draws all the property information from the XML to Array Plugin. So if you would like to take advantage of the free Realty Plugin then you must intsall the XML to Array Plugin.

Documentation for the plugin can be found in the plugin. Alternatively, instructions and installation guide can be found in the comments in the Blog.
