      I’m trying to develop a module to get today’s school lunch menu options from my kids’ school. The district uses a service provided by mealviewer.com. The API is available at https://api.mealviewer.com/api/v4/school/[schoolname]/[date range start MM-DD-YYYY]/[date range end MM-DD-YYYY]/. To keep it simple I’m only pulling the current day so the start and end date values are the same.

      Here’s an example: https://api.mealviewer.com/api/v4/school/ElmwoodElementary/02-15-2019/02-15-2019/

      You can see that there is a TON of XML data returned. I’m only interested in the [CafeteriaLine] nodes and each of their respective [FoodItem] nodes and then the respective [Item_Type] and [Item_Name] for each [FoodItem].

      I’m able to send an HTTP request and get (some) data but, unfortunately, most of the nonsense is returned and I don’t see the menu information. It’s like a big chunk out of the middle of the XML data is missing, whether I dump it out to the log before or after parsing it to JSON.

      Any thoughts?

                        But now I seem to have gotten myself into a pickle. I tried expanding the functionality to add a date range and multiple schools and, of course, I broke it. It’s doing the same thing as before where the ‘cafeteriaLineList’ property is stripped out of the helper results…

                        EDIT:
                        LOL, it’s the weekend and I had it pulling just for today, Sunday. Of course there’s no data. Dumb da dumb dumb…
