JS parses XML files

<script type='text/javascript'>
loadXML = function(xmlFile){
var xmlDoc=null;
//判断浏览器的类型
//支持IE浏览器
if(!window.DOMParser && window.ActiveXObject){
var xmlDomVersions = ['MSXML.2.DOMDocument.6.0','MSXML.2.DOMDocument.3.0','Microsoft.XMLDOM'];
for(var i=0;i<xmlDomVersions.length;i++){
try{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject(xmlDomVersions[i]);
break;
}catch(e){
}
}
}
//支持Mozilla浏览器
else if(document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument){
try{
/* document.implementation.createDocument('','',null); 方法的三个参数说明
* 第一个参数是包含文档所使用的命名空间URI的字符串;
* 第二个参数是包含文档根元素名称的字符串;
* 第三个参数是要创建的文档类型(也称为doctype)
*/
xmlDoc = document.implementation.createDocument('','',null);
}catch(e){
}
}
else{
return null;
}
if(xmlDoc!=null){
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load(xmlFile);
}
return xmlDoc;
}
</script>

JS parsing XML string

<script type='text/javascript'>
loadXML = function(xmlString){
var xmlDoc=null;
//判断浏览器的类型
//支持IE浏览器
if(!window.DOMParser && window.ActiveXObject){ //window.DOMParser 判断是否是非ie浏览器
var xmlDomVersions = ['MSXML.2.DOMDocument.6.0','MSXML.2.DOMDocument.3.0','Microsoft.XMLDOM'];
for(var i=0;i<xmlDomVersions.length;i++){
try{
xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject(xmlDomVersions[i]);
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.loadXML(xmlString); //loadXML方法载入xml字符串
break;
}catch(e){
}
}
}
//支持Mozilla浏览器
else if(window.DOMParser && document.implementation && document.implementation.createDocument){
try{
/* DOMParser 对象解析 XML 文本并返回一个 XML Document 对象。
* 要使用 DOMParser,使用不带参数的构造函数来实例化它,然后调用其 parseFromString() 方法
* parseFromString(text, contentType) 参数text:要解析的 XML 标记 参数contentType文本的内容类型
* 可能是 "text/xml" 、"application/xml" 或 "application/xhtml+xml" 中的一个。注意,不支持 "text/html"。
*/
domParser = new DOMParser();
xmlDoc = domParser.parseFromString(xmlString, 'text/xml');
}catch(e){
}
}
else{
return null;
}
return xmlDoc;
}
</script>

Test XML

<&#63;xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" &#63;>
<DongFang>
<Company>
<cNname>1</cNname>
<cIP>1</cIP>
</Company>
<Company>
<cNname>2</cNname>
<cIP>2</cIP>
</Company>
<Company>
<cNname>3</cNname>
<cIP>3</cIP>
</Company>
<Company>
<cNname>4</cNname>
<cIP>4</cIP>
</Company>
<Company>
<cNname>5</cNname>
<cIP>5</cIP>
</Company>
<Company>
<cNname>6</cNname>
<cIP>6</cIP>
</Company>
</DongFang>

How to use

var xmldoc=loadXML(text.xml)
var elements = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("Company");
for (var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
var name = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("cNname")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
var ip = elements[i].getElementsByTagName("cIP")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
}

The above method is suitable for IE. Let’s discuss the problem of parsing XML in IE and Firefox

Parsed xml documents and xml strings respectively for IE and Firefox. All codes have been commented out. Which part of the functions do you want to see?
Just remove the comment.

As for parsing xml in an ajax environment, the principle is actually the same, except that if it is placed in ajax, the returned xml still needs to be parsed.

//ie和火狐不仅解析器不一样,解析过程也不一样。如下; 
//ie解析xml文档 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);//弹出150万 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue);//弹出一室三居 

//层层遍历解析childNodes[1] 
//alert(xmlDoc.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);//弹出200万 
//alert(xmlDoc.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);//弹出150万 
//alert(xmlDoc.childNodes[1].childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[0].nodeValue);//弹出一室三居 

//还可以用item(i)进行遍历 
//var nodes=xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes; 
//alert(nodes.item(0).childNodes.item(0).childNodes.item(0).text); //弹出150万 
//alert(nodes.item(0).childNodes.item(1).childNodes.item(0).text); //弹出一室三居 

//火狐解析xml文档 
//火狐浏览器和ie解析xml不一样节点的值用textContent。 
//并且他会在有的层次child节点前后都加上"\n"换行符。(这个搞不清楚为什么,用firebug调试的时候就是这个样子,所以写过的代码最好测试一下,换个环境就不对了) 
//也就是说第1个节点是"\n",第2个节点才是真正的第一个节点。 
//第3个节点是"\n",第4个节点才是真正的第二个节点。 
//层层获取解析childNodes[0] 
//alert(xmlDoc.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].textContent);//弹出150万 
//alert(xmlDoc.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[3].textContent);//弹出一室三居 

//直接获取节点名解析getElementsByTagName("address") 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].textContent);//弹出150万 一室三居 200万 300万 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].childNodes[1].textContent);//弹出150万 一室三居 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].textContent);//弹出150万 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].childNodes[1].childNodes[3].textContent);//弹出一室三居 
//alert(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("address")[0].childNodes[3].textContent);//弹出200万  

//火狐也可以用item(1)函数遍历,注意也是有的层次节点前后都加了节点"\n"。 
//第一个节点是item(1),第二个节点是item(3),第三个节点是item(5) 
//item(1)函数遍历解析 
//var nodes=xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes; 
//alert(nodes.item(1).textContent); //弹出150万 一室三居 
//alert(nodes.item(1).childNodes.item(1).textContent); //弹出150万

</script> 

The level of each node in xml is the most annoying problem. You can only try it again and again, as long as the correct one comes out,
It is easy to determine the hierarchical relationship of nodes, or debug it.
I feel that json is better to read and understand in this regard. This analysis is too laborious!

The content of the document house.xml is as follows:

<&#63;xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" &#63;>  
<address> 
  <city name="北京"> 
    <price>150万</price> 
    <type>一室三居</type> 
  </city> 
  <city name="上海"> 
    <price>200万 </price> 
  </city> 
  <city name="杭州"> 
    <price>230万</price> 
  </city> 
  <city name="南京"></city> 
</address>

Python vs. JavaScript: A Comparative Analysis for DevelopersPython vs. JavaScript: A Comparative Analysis for DevelopersMay 09, 2025 am 12:22 AM

The main difference between Python and JavaScript is the type system and application scenarios. 1. Python uses dynamic types, suitable for scientific computing and data analysis. 2. JavaScript adopts weak types and is widely used in front-end and full-stack development. The two have their own advantages in asynchronous programming and performance optimization, and should be decided according to project requirements when choosing.

Python vs. JavaScript: Choosing the Right Tool for the JobPython vs. JavaScript: Choosing the Right Tool for the JobMay 08, 2025 am 12:10 AM

Whether to choose Python or JavaScript depends on the project type: 1) Choose Python for data science and automation tasks; 2) Choose JavaScript for front-end and full-stack development. Python is favored for its powerful library in data processing and automation, while JavaScript is indispensable for its advantages in web interaction and full-stack development.

Python and JavaScript: Understanding the Strengths of EachPython and JavaScript: Understanding the Strengths of EachMay 06, 2025 am 12:15 AM

Python and JavaScript each have their own advantages, and the choice depends on project needs and personal preferences. 1. Python is easy to learn, with concise syntax, suitable for data science and back-end development, but has a slow execution speed. 2. JavaScript is everywhere in front-end development and has strong asynchronous programming capabilities. Node.js makes it suitable for full-stack development, but the syntax may be complex and error-prone.

The power of the JavaScript framework lies in simplifying development, improving user experience and application performance. When choosing a framework, consider: 1. Project size and complexity, 2. Team experience, 3. Ecosystem and community support.

The Relationship Between JavaScript, C  , and BrowsersThe Relationship Between JavaScript, C , and BrowsersMay 01, 2025 am 12:06 AM

Introduction I know you may find it strange, what exactly does JavaScript, C and browser have to do? They seem to be unrelated, but in fact, they play a very important role in modern web development. Today we will discuss the close connection between these three. Through this article, you will learn how JavaScript runs in the browser, the role of C in the browser engine, and how they work together to drive rendering and interaction of web pages. We all know the relationship between JavaScript and browser. JavaScript is the core language of front-end development. It runs directly in the browser, making web pages vivid and interesting.
