I'm confused. Is this a web service or a binary API. If it's a web service, the data will come as XML and it won't matter.

>I am attempting to integrate my VFP P.O.S. with Magento an open source web cart. So far I have mee accessing the MySql database directly but I know the API functions should be quicker and safer. My current issue is with trying to translate the following example code :-S into something usable in VFP.
