Question

I have this code:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: trgUrl,
    success: function (data)
    {
        var xml= $.parseXML(data);
                               {
        var obj= $.xml2json(xml);

        //....
    }
 });

and data can be somthing like:

 "<name> Mike </name>"

now, the problem is that after using $.xml2json(xml), in order to show the name i need to write:

 alert(obj.name.value); // Mike

instead of just:

 alert(obj.name);    // object object

in other words: the $.xml2json turns the content of <name> into another object (instead of making it a direct string)

How can i fix that behavior? does anybody had this problem ?

Answer 1

Modify plugin as follows:

// Add element value
if(node.childElementCount == 0 && node.textContent != null && node.textContent != "") {
         /* comment out ".value" */
         result[node.nodeName]/*.value */= node.textContent.trim();
}

If nodes have child nodes this can create problems which is likely why author created object in first place
