Fetching and Reading XML Data

This video shows how you can use the fetch( ) method to do an AJAX call and retrieve and XML file and then read the data from inside that file.
It covers the differences between working with JSON and XML data from an API

sir
you just saved
you really really saved me.
when I started teaching myself two years ago, I was always watching your videos and felt super good.
I first wanna announce you that I have been working as full stack engineer the last five months and it is my first job.
I recently thought about an app that I wanted to build and the response from the external api were on xml format and I was stuck .
now, I know how to solve it for sure.
I will publish that app here next week
thanks

basically: fetch it as text, then pass it to the javascript xml parser to create a DOM-like object

[mikunea]

Thanks, Steve. A great video that I was able to put into action right away. One question remains: Why can I only use the variable xml within this function? Everything that comes after this function has no access to the variable xml anymore.

Hi Steve, Great tutorial!! two questions: 1: In order for this to work do you need a local server running? 2: Can this be done without running a local server?

I have copied the exact same example and I get logged in the console the error: "error on line 1 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document". Can someone help me with this ?

[sakshijain]

hey. I am getting this error in method fetch():
Fetch API cannot load read.xml. URL scheme must be "http" or "https" for CORS request.

This video helped me a tonne but I want to add an upload input from my HTML page and grab my XML file from that. How do I go about doing this?

[tejkumarkempaiah]

Thanks for the wonderful work!

I want to parse XML elements which is not in the file format but is the response for the API call.

Can you please share video parsing the XML nodes, elements for the API response where response is in XML format ?

[nikodixon]

Great video - although I came here looking for a solution that doesn't require a browser setting. I'm trying to parse XML API responses with Node...without the use of external libraries. I haven't found anything that works yet.
