javascript api and xml

qali — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 23:04:58 GMT

Hi, Is there anyway via the js api to easily parse xml? I know you can get the contents of a file by doing document.content and it's easy to get the mimetype (via the API), so, is there a simple way to load an xml document (so that I can parse it and extract data and do whatever) via teh JS API?

What you're looking for is E4X (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E4X), which has been enabled in Alfresco by default since v2.9. It's also possible to enable E4X in earlier versions of Alfresco by following the instructions in JIRA ticket AR-1720 (http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AR-1720).
