photo album xml (axml)

Want to build your OWN photo album application?!?!?!

Some more advanced users may want to build their own Flash or other photo album for a specific purpose! Below, find an example of an XML structure delivered by our XML Album (aXML) system. You can retrieve a link from within the administration panel to get any of your albums delivered in this exact format. Source nodes are the location of the files at DynamPics.com.

A couple node explanations.

• aXML always has the root node of <album>
• The album/provider node should be displayed on any album using aXML to comply with use licenses if you are feeding the data into a proprietary album
• All node content is encoded with the following map
• & = &amp;
• < = &lt;
• > = &gt;
• " = &quot;
• All <source> nodes contain fully qualified URLs
• album/meta/size = no. of images in the album
• album/status = one of the following
1. success = the document was retrieved, authenticated anf there are images present
2. inactive = the document exists but is turned off by its owner
3. unauthorized = the document exists and is on but you didn't send the correct authentication string, use standard basic authentication tokens in your request header as per the HTTP protocol
4. empty = the document exists, is on and you have authenticated but there are no images
