Here are some XML processing examples in Javascript. If you've got some XML data with XMLHttpRequest (there is actually no XMLHttpRequest in the examples - we create the XML object from a string - can be handy too) you need to read/convert etc. it to some other format and do something with it. Traversing a DOM/XML tree can be tricky, so have a look at these examples:
Example #1:
Using getElementsByTagName, we iterate thru the XML tree and read the numerous children/sibling.
<html>
<body>
<script>
var xmlstring = '<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\
<shoppingcart date="14-10-2005" total="123.45">\
<item code="12345">\
<name>Widget</name>\
<quantity>1</quantity>\
</item>\
<item code="54321">\
<name>Another Widget</name>\
<quantity>2</quantity>\
</item>\
</shoppingcart>';
// convert the string to an XML object
var xmlobject = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(xmlstring, "text/xml");
// get the XML root item
var root = xmlobject.getElementsByTagName('shoppingcart')[0];
var date = root.getAttribute("date");
alert("shoppingcart date=" + date);
var items = root.getElementsByTagName("item");
for (var i = 0 ; i < items.length ; i++) {
// get one item after another
var item = items[i];
// now we have the item object, time to get the contents
// get the name of the item
var name = item.getElementsByTagName("name")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
// get the quantity
var quantity = item.getElementsByTagName("quantity")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
alert("item #" + i + ": name=" + name + " quantity=" + quantity);
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Example #2:
Here is a more universal example with the method "childNodes".
<html>
<body>
<script>
var xmlstring = '<?xml version="1.0"?>\
<root>\
<data>\
<row>\
<cell>Admiral</cell>\
<cell>Melon</cell>\
<cell>Carrot</cell>\
</row>\
<row>\
<cell>Captain</cell>\
<cell>Banana</cell>\
<cell>Zucchini</cell>\
</row>\
</data>\
<data>\
<row>\
<cell>Midshipman</cell>\
<cell>Orange</cell>\
<cell>Potatoe</cell>\
</row>\
</data>\
</root>';
// convert the string to an XML object
var xmlobject = (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(xmlstring, "text/xml");
// get the XML root item
var root = xmlobject.getElementsByTagName('root')[0];
for (var iNode = 0; iNode < root.childNodes.length; iNode++) {
var node = root.childNodes.item(iNode);
for (i = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++) {
var sibling = node.childNodes.item(i);
for (x = 0; x < sibling.childNodes.length; x++) {
var sibling2 = sibling.childNodes.item(x);
if (sibling2.childNodes.length > 0) {
var sibling3 = sibling2.childNodes.item(0);
alert(sibling3.data);
}
}
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
