getXML() vs getXMLAnswer()? which is the best to use?

[Kunal Varkhede]

Hi,

If we compare both then getXML() is best option for performance wise. Beacause it is not wait for response. 

When you are trying to retrieve value of the variable.after getting value then only we can proceed next step like comparing it with user input.In such scenarios will use

getXMLWait()

If you are retrieving some data from server and next tasks does not depend on what you are retrieving from server

then will use

getXML();

Hit Helpful or Correct on the impact of response

Hi mallikharjunaswamyvutla,

getXML(Function callback)

Sends the server a request to execute the method and parameters associated with this GlideAjax object.

The server processes the request asynchronously and -- when ready -- returns the results via the function specified as the callback_function.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Description
callback	Function	The name of the callback function to process the results returned by the server.

getXMLAnswer(Function callback)

Call the processor asynchronously and get the answer element of the response in XML format.

Parameter(s):

Name	Type	Description
callback	Function	The callback function. The function receives the answer element of the response in XML format as an argument.

THANKS !!

Hi,

It all depends on the scenario you are into

1) getXMLWait() is used during onsubmit validation when you are waiting for the script include response so that you can abort the form save

2) getXML() is used when you don't want to wait for the script include function and asynchronously execute the code

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also mark Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
Thanks
Ankur
