Create a Custom Service

Hi,

I want to create a custom service that will invoke a third-party web service and will get an XML that needs to be transformed and displayed. The third-party service is a Commerce component that will be returning a set of products in XML format.

The documentation for the custom service creation is very old and covers only 3.4 version. can someone guide me for the version 4.x please

Re: Create a Custom Service

Hi,

You're right, our English documentation is quite outdated.
However, service development has not much changed since 3.4

A service is basically an URL invoked by the system when rendering the page.
An URl is itself basically a pipeline inside a sitemap.xmap inside a plugin.
You'll find many samples through all existing plugins
