Wow! quickly re-writes own code excitedly

One of the best things about ActionScript 3 is E4X syntax where this stuff is really easy. I’m looking forward to when JavaScript gets that upgrade and no JavaScript trickery is needed.

thanks, this post was the decisive one in helping me to achieve successful xml parsing in jquery.. it was the perfect tutorial :)

thank for good view about jquery, I will start it using

thanks! that was super easy!! No ‘for’ loops or ‘getElementsByTagName’

Wont work on IE 7..

Never thought could be so much simple!

It’s very useful !!!!

Hi all,
Thank you for the example its very useful. And its definitely much easier than parsing with simple javascript.

though I have a question: Is there any tutorial that goes in more details??

Best regards,

Nice article! We recently had to parse RSS feeds from mySpace using nothing more than jQuery and we found a slightly quicker solution – jFeed. I would definitely recommend checking it out. As for our widget, you’re all free to grab the sources to see how we tackled the problem:
Download sources

Thanks, saved my bacon. I promoted you on the googlator :)

Definitely! using it now for a web based URL lookup tool, loads of xml responses – this speeded up development time and saved myself from any brain damage! :)

How do I get this working on IE7, what is the Google XML loader, I couldnt find anything about it on the web… I using my app’s generated raw XML and it doesnt work on IE =(

Nice, but you’re essentially replacing 12 lines of JavaScript with a whole library of it instead. That said, 99.999% of all my projects use jQuery anyway! :)

Thanks for the tip on this, I was writing out getElementByTagName and getAttribute and didn’t even think to just parse XML with JQuery.
I’m trying to figure out how to get to the Nth page in my XML this way but doesn’t seem like you can do $(xmlDoc).find(‘page’)⁸.attr(‘label’); I’ll keep googlin….

ok $(xmldoc).find(‘page’).eq(8).attr(‘label’);

Like someone else said above… This post got me going and I couldn’t help myself but spend a late, late night rewriting my XML parsing functions to use jQuery. Now, I am very close to full cross-browser support.

I wish I would have started using jQuery years ago.

Thanks for the simple write-up showcasing jQuery’s awesomeness!

Thanks for this post — it helped me along in the jQuery world.

Thanks! Good examples that helped me!

Great post. Thanks.

Here is a jQuery Plugin for easy XML parsing: http://www.bloggingdeveloper.com/post/Parse-XML-with-Javascript-jParse-jQuery-Plugin-for-Parsing-XML.aspx

Very useful, thanks.

I needed to parse some xml files and I found that the solution is right in my browser. jQuery makes it really easy. I prefer to use the ajax() method to retrieve the xml file, though.

Nice post! I’m looking for something like this for hours !!

Congratulations !

Hi,

Can we use jquery to get wordpress blog feed for a normal hand coded web site?
If yes what will be the modified code based on the example you have placed here?

Regards,
Danis

expression was very nice thank you :)

function parseXml(str) {

  if (window.ActiveXObject) {

    var doc = new ActiveXObject(‘Microsoft.XMLDOM’);

    doc.loadXML(str);

    return doc;

  } else if (window.DOMParser) {

    return (new DOMParser).parseFromString(str, ‘text/xml’);

  } else

    return "";

}

and on success you parse to xml first:

success: function(data) {

   var xml = parseXml(data);

   $(xml).find("result").each(function() {

Use the above function parseXml() only when you don’t set the datatype of the $ajax request

Hello,
I’m trying to do the same thing: a google map project loading marker from my database (helped by the tutorial of Google Documentation).
I didn’t understand why my variable data.responseXML is always “undefined”, have you any ideas ? (if I print data, i see my xml data :s)

var url = "load?id=" + id;

$.ajax({

        type: ‘GET’,

        url: url,

        async: true,

        success: function (data) {loadData(data);},

        error: function(data) {alert("Error");}

        });

 

function loadData(data) {

        alert(data.responseXML); // (: undefined)

         $(data.responseXML).find("marker").each(function() {

                  var marker = $(this);

                  var point = new google.maps.LatLng(marker.attr("lat"), marker.attr("lng"));

                  var new_marker = new google.maps.Marker({map: map, position: point});

          });

        }

Thanks :)

Hello,

Thanks for this tutorial :)

I’m wondering how to write into an xml fil either with JS or jQuery ?

Thanks

Thanks dude i was searching for the same

thx and yeah, i also would like to know how you can write into an xml file with jQuery!

For #29,
function loadData(data) {
alert(data); // (: undefined)
$(data).find(“marker”).each(function() {
var marker = $(this);
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(marker.attr(“lat”), marker.attr(“lng”));
var new_marker = new google.maps.Marker({map: map, position: point});
});
}

Yeh, jQuery has been a time saver for me in so many tasks. Even when I need to parse XML, and apply the results to C# code, I would parse it in jQUery and then pass the data in C# program. :)

Very Useful Article. Really Thanks to Jquery for making such a great library. I am really a big fan of Jquery and use it rather then other libraries.

It is a very good tutorial.

I am learning JQuery now, it helps me.

Simple example to read xml using jquery Here

It’s still a pitty .responseXML cannot be used (anymore?)
When applying a .xsl which is also an xml, I have to convert it first
like: obj.loadXML(res.responseText) in order to use .transformNode()

function parseXml(str) {

if (window.ActiveXObject) {
var doc = new ActiveXObject(‘Microsoft.XMLDOM’);
doc.loadXML(str);
return doc;
} else if (window.DOMParser) {
return (new DOMParser).parseFromString(str, ‘text/xml’);
} else
return "";

}
