About Feed Import

Feed Import allows to import content into entities (like nodes, users, taxonomy terms, ...)
from various file or database types.

Also can monitor feed items for changes to update imported entities,
can set an expire time to entities to deleted expired ones when cron runs
or can be used as one time import.
All settings can be made from an easy to use interface.

By default, six methods of import (also named readers) are provided by Feed Import:

XML document - import content from XML files using XPATH
XML chunked - import content from huge XML files using XPATH
DOM document HTML/XML - import content from HTML/XML files using XPATH (you can use php functios in xpaths)
SQL query - import content from SQL query result using column names
CSV file - import content from CSV files using column names or indexes (php >= 5.3)
JSON file - import content from JSON files using path to value

If you want to import content from other file types please post a feature request in issue queue or read the tutorial on how to make your own reader.
