Do I need to write a module to export page data as xml?

Hi everyone.

I'm newbie to ProcessWire.

I need to export particular page's data (including custom fields and children pages) as XML.

What is the best approach for that using ProcessWire API?

Do I need to write a module for that?

Ideally (for simplicity) I'd like to create just one file which could include everything necessary to call ProcessWire API to fetch data and create XML.

Then I can call something like http://mywebsite.com/import.php to import data...

It does not need to be a module. It's easy to bootstrap PW to make a export.php script that spits out the desired xml which can be consumed by other sites or services. https://processwire.com/api/include/

There is also http://modules.processwire.com/modules/service-pages/ which is great but returns json.

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Not sure what your final goal is, but you mention wanting to import the xml data as well. Maybe you should take a look at Migrator:
