XML Parser Overview
The XML DOM (Document Object Model) provides the structure and methods required for accessing and modifying XML. However, before accessing any XML document, it must first be loaded into an XML DOM object. At Jimni Nomics, we offer a powerful XML Parser tool that works seamlessly with all modern browsers to convert text into XML DOM objects.
Parsing Text Strings with JavaScript
Here's an example of how you can parse a text string into an XML DOM object and extract relevant information using JavaScript:
In this example, a text string is transformed into an XML DOM object using the DOMParser()
. This allows you to extract and manipulate data from the XML format with ease.
Using XMLHttpRequest Object for XML Parsing
The XMLHttpRequest object also comes equipped with a built-in XML parser. The responseText
property returns the response as a string, while the responseXML
property returns the response as an XML DOM object. If you need to handle XML responses, you can directly use the responseXML
property to work with XML DOM objects.
Here is an example where the response from an XML file is used:
xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML;txt = "";x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("ARTIST");for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {txt += x[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "";}document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = txt;
This example demonstrates how you can retrieve XML data from a file and display specific elements, such as the artist names, by looping through the XML structure.
