Reading a XML file using the Feed/XML connector service is a really easy task. The first step is to get the proper service object with the desired parameters:

$parameters = [
   'uri' => 'https://typo3.org/xml-feeds/rss.xml',
   'encoding' => 'utf-8',
];
$registry = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\Cobweb\Svconnector\Registry\ConnectorRegistry::class);
$connector = $registry->getServiceForType('feed');

The next step is simply to call the appropriate method from the API depending on which format you want to have in return. For example:

$data = $connector->fetchXML($parameters);

This will return the XML from the feed as a string. The fetchRaw() method will return the same.

The fetchArray() method returns an array version of the XML transformed using \Cobweb\Svconnector\Utility\ConnectorUtility::convertXmlToArray(). The returned array has a rather complex structure, but it ensures that no information is lost.
