So I have an XML document that looks like this:
I want to extract all the AttributeObjs and parse the value of their Name and Value tags. I've started with something like this:
However my diagnostic logging shows that Name and Value are always blank. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
"doc.xml"
<Response>
<IrrelevantValue>Hi</IrrelevantValue>
<IrrelevantValue2>Hi2</IrrelevantValue2>
<AttributeObj>
<Name>Text</Name>
<Value>Text<Value>
</AttributeObj>
<AttributeObj>
<Name>Text</Name>
<Value>Text<Value>
</AttributeObj>
<AttributeObj>
<Name>Text</Name>
<Value>Text<Value>
</AttributeObj>
</Response>
I want to extract all the AttributeObjs and parse the value of their Name and Value tags. I've started with something like this:
var AttributeList = doc.getElementsByTagName('AttributeObj');
print(AttributeList.length); //3
for (int i = 0; i < AttributeList.Length; i++
{
var Name = AttributeList[i].getElementsByTagName('Name').item(0).firstChild.data;
var Value = AttributeList[i].getElementsByTagName('Value').item(0).firstChild.data;
//Do a bunch of stuff with Name and Value
}
However my diagnostic logging shows that Name and Value are always blank. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

var Name = AttributeList[i].getElementsByTagName("Name").item(0).firstChild.data;e:
For further info (and i'm not super literate in javascript so this may not be 100% for you, but);
' is typically used to specify characters, while " is for strings.
the for loop should be
for (i = 0; i < AttributeList.length; i++) { //loop stuff }javascript doesn't know what an int is, length needs to be lower case and you need the end parenthesis.jsfiddle
Javascript actually doesn't care, though JSON cares a lot.
