I understand that everything dealing with database should be put inside a model class. But what about the data I get from a HTTP GET resource, like say a xml file, csv file or something like that. Should I make a helper for it? a library? or is it good in a model?
Regards
Models should be used for anything involving data retrieval or storage, that includes calling webservices, queries, loading and parsing xml.
Then again this is just a suggestion, you could leave it all in your controller or use a library and it would make no difference other than that you’re not conforming to MVC principles.
