Sometimes we need to parse xml into string and string into xml. Different browsers parse xml to string and vice-versa in different ways. Here, I am sharing cross browser compatible methods to parse xml.
Parse XML to String
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function XMLToString(oXML)
{
//code for IE
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
var oString = oXML.xml; return oString;
}
// code for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc.
else {
return (new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(oXML);
}
}
</script>
Parse String to XML
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function StringToXML(oString) {
//code for IE
if (window.ActiveXObject) {
var oXML = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); oXML.loadXML(oString);
return oXML;
}
// code for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc.
else {
return (new DOMParser()).parseFromString(oString, "text/xml");
}
}
</script>
