New Feature: Importing data from xml feed

wdammak commented 4 years ago

Hotels often offer an XML feed to the third party for B2B and for intra-communication between the various hotels of the same chain in order to instantly know the availability of rooms in each hotel. An xml feed is required The import data from xml is also required.

@faizansari-bd Thanks, you can take inspiration from the xml feed used by google: https://developers.google.com/hotels/hotel-ads/xml-reference/hotel-list-feed The following example shows a partial Hotel List Feed with a listing that contains an editorial and a user review: `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <listings xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.gstatic.com/localfeed/local_feed.xsd">
