import xml ?

Hello

I need to import xml file to hikashop.
(manual + cron)
What is the best way to do this ?
Creating an cvs of xml is not an option. (because of cronjob)
I'm thinking to write custom component to do this.
The original xml file has also different names. So i need also to map xml field to hikashopfield
Or are there other options? I can't find xml import.

ok thank you, custom component it will be.
