Javascript - Handing XML document with prefix and name space
If you need to process XML string with namespace such as "<book xmlns:xi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude'> <Name>Some text</Name> <Price>$12</Price> </book>" , then you can use " getElementsByTagNameNS " function to process it. Its formula is: elements = element.getElementsByTagNameNS(namespaceURI, localName) Below code is th example of using " getElementsByTagNameNS " function and explore XML child nodes in JavaScript. var z=xmlDocument. getElementsByTagNameNS(' http:/ /schemas.microsoft.com/ado/ 2007/08/dataservices ', 'Rows'); x=z[0].firstElementChild.childNodes; for (i = 0; i < x.length ;i++) { console.log(x[i].firstChild); if (x[i].firstChild.innerHTML=="URL") { console.log(x[i].children[1]. innerHTML); } }
