How to retrieve attributes from an XML

[andreazaffaroni]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<test>
        <one>
                <two prova="ANNA">A</two>
               <three>B</three>
       </one>
       <one>
              <two prova="OSSO">C</two>
             <three>D</three>
      </one>
</test>

Hi community,

I need to retrieve the attributes from both nodes two: "ANNA" and "OSSO", how can I do this?

I am using XMLDocument2

Thanks you

Andrea

Hi,

You can refer to below link to retrieve the node, node attributes, etc

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/london-application-development/page/script/server-scripting/concept/c_XMLDocumentScriptObject.html

Kindly mark my answer as correct if this solves your problem.

Hello,

This is easily possible using an XMLDocument class

var xmlString = "<test><one><two prova='ANNA'>A</two><three>B</three></one><one><two prova='OSSO'>C</two><three>D</three></one></test>";
var xmlDoc = new XMLDocument(xmlString); 
var nodes = xmlDoc.getNodes("//test/one/two");
gs.print(nodes.item(0).getAttributes().item(0).getNodeValue());
gs.print(nodes.item(1).getAttributes().item(0).getNodeValue());

Thanks

No direct method like XMLDocument to fetch attributes. You can use this one which retrieves by index

var xmlString = "<test><one><two prova='ANNA'>A</two><three>B</three></one><one><two prova='OSSO'>C</two><three>D</three></one></test>";
var xmlDoc = new XMLDocument2(xmlString);
xmlDoc.parseXML( xmlString ); 

var node = xmlDoc.getNode("//test");
var childNodes = node.getChildNodeIterator();
while(childNodes.hasNext()){
     var i = childNodes.next().toString();
     var index = i.indexOf("prova");
     if(index  > -1){
       var end = i.indexOf("\">", index);
       gs.print(i.substring(index+7, end));
     }
}
