I am writing a module that gets data from a couple sources, mostly XML, and then creates a nested array of values, such as "Title" and "URL"/link.
I'd like to create a new menu and then loop through my nested array and for each entry create a new menu item or child menu item, passing the title and URL to Drupal's menu system. I know that I can create menus with menu_save and items with hook_menu but how to create a new menu that has all external URLs?
Here is a part of the data:
