Geolocation Object Import/Export

Schema Elements

The geolocation.xsd schema supports importing store geolocations based on zip code. The root geolocations element serves as a wrapper for a number of geolocation elements for a single country. The country is defined as an attribute of the root geolocations element. The geolocation element spans a section with the common import REPLACE semantic. A geolocation import file therefore always replaces any existing geolocations (of the particular country). Geolocations of different countries are imported as separate files. See Importing and Exporting Geolocations.

Sample Geolocation Feed

The following is a sample XML file containing two geolocation records for the USA:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<geolocations country-code="US" xmlns="http://www.demandware.com/xml/impex/geolocation/2007-05-01">
	<geolocation postal-code="00501">  
		<city xml:lang="x-default">HOLTSVILLE</city>
		<state xml:lang="x-default">NY</state> 
		<longitude>-72.637078</longitude> 
		<latitude>40.922326</latitude> 
	</geolocation>
	<geolocation postal-code="00544">  
		<city xml:lang="x-default">HOLTSVILLE</city>
		<state xml:lang="x-default">NY</state> 
		<longitude>-72.637078</longitude> 
		<latitude>40.922326</latitude> 
</geolocation>...</geolocations>
