IPB's XML-RPC API?

[Akkarin]

I'm having a few problems with the API that IPB provides.

I've setup a user, i can extract data into xml format, but i have no idea how to change it into something readable that i can put on our servers homepage to list latest topics.

Google only gives me more pages on how to extract the data into xml format, and i've no idea what to search for to get the data into an array i can use in php :/

Any help would be much appreciated!
