ParseXML 1

[borntorun]

Hi,

Could you help me know how to parse the following xml in java script so i can get the text?

<test>
<country>brazil</country>
<town>rio</town>
<person>
<name>ronaldo</name>
<name>socrates</name>
<name>zico</name>
<name>pele</name>
</person>
</test>

Need to extract values.

This is in IE so can use msft xml.

Need to put text into three variables.

One for each tag.

Thank you all.

You do not explain where do you get the file. Let me suppose it is already read as textstream into a variable and work from there.

var sxml="<test>\r\n" +
"<country>brazil</country>\r\n" +
"\t<town>rio</town>\r\n" +
"\t<person>\r\n" +
"\t\t<name>ronaldo</name>\r\n" +
"\t\t<name>socrates</name>\r\n" +
"\t\t<name>zico</name>\r\n" +
"\t\t<name>pele</name>\r\n" +
"\t</person>\r\n" +
"</test>";
var oparser=new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
oparser.loadXML (sxml);
var scountry=oparser.selectSingleNode("/test/country").text;
var stown=oparser.selectSingleNode("/test/town").text;
var operson=oparser.selectSingleNode("/test/person");
var aoname=operson.childNodes

//this shows you what you get and how to retrieve names
alert(socuntry + "\n" + stown + "\n" + aoname.length + "\n" + aoname[0].text + "\n"+aoname[1].text + "\n"+aoname[2].text + "\n" + aoname[3].text);
