Accessing SharePoint List Data as XML
The other day, I found myself in need of a way to access SharePoint list data
as XML but the only method available to me was a simple http GET.
This is
not too bad, but what can I get from SharePoint via GET?
RSS is too
limited and scraping the page is too painful and error-prone to even
contemplate.
It turns out that there is an option available in 2007 that was carried
forward from SharePoint 2003 / FrontPage days: owssvr.dll.
But this isn't
some forgotten FrontPage artifact, it is still a central part of
SharePoint.
In fact, if you pull up a list view and then view the source
looking for owssvr.dll, you will see that this is the mechanism behind both the
Export to Spreadsheet and Open with Access options on the list
Actions menu.
