Get value of any attribute from XML data in JavaScript?

[Community Alums]

Hi Experts,

I have requirement where I need to fetch the value from the XML, 

Below is the XMl
which I'm storing in one variable.

var xml = <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><tsResponse xmlns="http://tableau.com/api" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://tableau.com/api https://help.tableau.com/samples/en-us/rest_api/ts-api_3_14.xsd"><credentials token="gCosMMH6RUOYmar3dWwclA|dvfWAm9uul8ZkZjLpsk8X58r0CbZquoT" estimatedTimeToExpiration="362:21:46"><site id="8d919619-4390-46cb-9a9f-fdbe9b5e3fd7" contentUrl="Confirmation"/><user id="82d693e2-ab5a-49dd-bc11-d8b14f412c2b"/></credentials></tsResponse>

From the above XML I wanted to fetch and store the "credentials token" and "site id" values. using javascript.

Kindly help me on solving this.

Thanks,
Chaithanya

Hi Chaithanya,

Please refer to the below code as a solution to your question:

var token= xml.toString().split('credentials token="')[1].split('" estimated')[0];

var id = xml.toString().split('site id="')[1].split('" contentUrl')[0];

Below is the screenshot of the output of the code.

Please mark the answer as correct, If I answered your query. It will be helpful for others who are looking for similar questions.
