javascript

JS means to dynamically read the contents of xml files through ajax

This example demonstrates how JS dynamically reads the contents of xml files through ajax. Share with you for your reference. The specific analysis is as follows:

The JS code below reads the note.xml file and populates the display fields

The HTML file code is as follows

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function loadXMLDoc(url)
{
var xmlhttp;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
 {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
 xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
 }
else
 {// code for IE6, IE5
 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
 }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
 {
 if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
  {
  document.getElementById('A1').innerHTML=xmlhttp.status;
  document.getElementById('A2').innerHTML=xmlhttp.statusText;
  document.getElementById('A3').innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
  }
 }
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>Retrieve data from XML file</h2>
<p><b>Status:</b><span id="A1"></span></p>
<p><b>Status text:</b><span id="A2"></span></p>
<p><b>Response:</b><span id="A3"></span></p>
<button onclick="loadXMLDoc('note.xml')">Get XML data</button>
</body>
</html>

The xml file reads as follows

<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

I hope this article is helpful for you to design javascript program.
