Loading data from xml

[Bhushan N.N]

Hi All,

I have tried loading data from a JSON file and it worked like a charm. I am trying the same for an xml file but doesn't seem to work. How or what would be the approach to load data from an xml file?

JSON - Worked

$scope.seats = [];

$http.get('seats/seats.json').success(function(data) {

$scope.seats = data;

});

XML - Not working

$scope.data = [];

$http.get('data/test.xml').success(function(data) {

$scope.data = data;

});

Thank you

Bhushan

What do you get in data? A string?

Yes I am getting a String value in data.

You will probably need to parse the xml into a JSON object. There are a number of converters out there that get the job done, but may require a bit of customization depending on the structure of your xml. Here are two:

Thanks Chris,

Ended up using this http://www.fyneworks.com/jquery/xml-to-json/#tab-Usage

        $scope.data = [];

$http.get('data/test.xml').success(function(data) {

$scope.data=$.xml2json( data, true) ;

});
