Basically I'd like to build a simple currency converter that fetches data dynamically from the web (Atm best I've come up with is: http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml , if you know any better that has a JSON result, I'd appreciate it).
Now I noticed it doesn't have the XML format like I've seen in some tutorials, so I thought about getting everything from the URL as string and parsing it as a string (I'm pretty good with string parsing, done a lot at C++ contests).
My question is, how do I get the string from the URL?
