xml2json is undefined #84
Description
Hi all,
After solving the bug of getData (returns always false due to a wrong boolean expression) as described in another issue, I got xml2json is undefined. Indeed xml2json is used in the xml2Object (line 910 and 918) and is not defined anywhere else.
I suspect that the developers depend on something installed on their computers but not provided in the release. Anyway, given the name of the function, I assume that it converts XML data to JSON data (yes, I know, this is a quite clever deduction 😉), so I implemented a new one:
function xml2json(xml) {
var json = {};
if (xml.nodeType == 1) { // element node
if (xml.attributes.length > 0) {
json['@attributes'] = {};
for (var j = 0; j < xml.attributes.length; j++) {
var attribute = xml.attributes.item(j);
json['@attributes'][attribute.nodeName] = attribute.nodeValue;
}
}
} else if (xml.nodeType == 3) { // text node
return xml.nodeValue;
}
// deal with children
if (xml.hasChildNodes()) {
for(var i = 0; i < xml.childNodes.length; i++) {
var child = xml.childNodes.item(i);
var nodeName = child.nodeName;
if (json[nodeName] == null) {
json[nodeName] = xml2json(child);
} else {
if (json[nodeName].push == null) {
var old = json[nodeName];
json[nodeName] = [];
json[nodeName].push(old);
}
json[nodeName].push(xml2json(child));
}
}
}
return json;
}Of course, you are free to use it at your convenience.
